Space Segment Guidance

Planning policy for spacecraft should reflect roles and decision rights across manufacturers, payload providers, mission ops, launch services, and partner stations, with lifecycle and mode awareness (design/I&T, launch/LEOP, nominal, maintenance, disposal). Consider constraints unique to space, AOS/LOS, intermittent links, radiation upsets, safing behavior, and define when security activities (risk acceptance, change control, incident coordination, key ceremonies) are triggered by operational events. Plans that require validation in simulators/digital twins before reliance in flight, and that specify the evidence to record, tend to remain usable when timelines are measured in passes.
