🛰️ About the Workshop
This workshop offers a hands-on, interactive forum for researchers and engineers—both senior and junior—to share insights and lessons learned in Space Operations and lunar surface simulation.
Participants will gain practical experience using Yamcs and Grafana, and explore our lunar rover mission operations simulator. The goal is to provide not just technical overviews, but a concrete, actionable understanding of the tools and challenges in modern mission operations.
💡 Please bring your laptop if you'd like to connect to the online services we’ll make available during the hands-on sessions. Nothing needs to be pre-installed (everything is browser-based) and we tested support with Ubuntu, Windows and macOS.
