Operations as a Service (OaaS)

Let us handle your mission operations while you focus on your product and customers

Reduce your time to fly

Two young men are writing on a glass board with white markers, with text visible on the board. The focus is on the man in the foreground, writing with a marker, and the other man is also writing in the background.

Designers should not have to spend their time developing simulation environments or preparing operational products. Instead, they must concentrate on getting the systems ready for flight. JAOPS provides the infrastructure and people required so that your engineers only have to support critical operations

  • No lengthy recruiting processes, get the experts ready to operate

  • No lengthy Ground Software development and testing

  • Connect our MCS during your development phases and let us support during your testing campaigns as well

Reduce the risks

Our operators have years of experience in multiple payloads and platforms and experience dealing with many anomalies. Add this know-how to the different phases of your mission for reduced risks

Our software has strong flight heritage, let us drive your mission and avoid the deployment of rushed and untested ground software developments

Minimize Operational Costs

Lunar Rover Operations

JAOPS team has experience in all phases of lunar rover development from the preliminary design all the way to the integration and testing of the Flight Model. 

JAOPS provides support to lunar rover teams for their mission operation design and development, rover field testing in lunar analog sites, as well as operator training and mission rehearsals.

JAOPS operations tools, lunar surface simulator and procedures accelerate your team's development, share lessons learned and anchor best practices.  Solutions are tailored to your unique mission requirements ranging from equatorial, mid-latitude or polar landing sites. JAOPS considers ConOPS relying on either realtime operations or supervised autonomy. 

JAOPS is a trusted partner from mission design to mission simulation to in-space mission operations.

Spacecraft Operations

The JAOPS team is expert in all the spacecraft life cycle phases. From concept design to requirements definition to testing activities and operations and decommissioning.

JAOPS systems have been specifically developed for the Newspace Era, but are based on the lessons learned from the last 60 years of space operations (industry standards).

JAOPS uses the latest software technologies, combining proprietary and Open Source, to ensure that your missions are at forefront and that reliability and usability are optimized.

Astronaut Support

The JAOPS team has extensive experience in ISS crew activities and our team has participated in the development of the processes and tools used by the main space agencies.

We can support developing the processes required for public and private Human Spaceflight.

UAV Operations

Airborne activities follow the same principles as space activities: Planning, Monitoring and Control, Anomaly resolution and Data Processing. 

JAOPS is working on the definition of airborne applications for both individual aircrafts and constellations. 

JAOPS is applying years of know how in space activities to UAV, setting up the standards for Civil UAV Control Centers.
