Magnetorquer Magnetorquer is an attitude control device that uses interaction with a magnetic field to apply torque to a spacecraft, supporting orientation control through magnetic forces without conventional propellant. Hardware Mission Assurance Mission Assurance is the practice of ensuring that mission objectives can be achieved with acceptable risk across design, operations, and recovery. Operations Onboard Networking Onboard networking is the set of internal network connections and control functions that distribute data among systems on a platform such as an aircraft. It links sensors, payloads, processing systems,… Concept/Framework Propellant Tank Propellant Tank is a container that stores fuel or propellant for a propulsion system or spacecraft subsystem, providing contained storage for consumable fluid while maintaining operational pressure and flow conditions. Hardware Reaction Wheel Reaction Wheel is an attitude control device that changes a spacecraft's orientation by accelerating or braking an internal spinning mass, providing propellant-free pointing control through conservation of angular momentum. Hardware Regulatory Coordination Regulatory Coordination is the process of aligning technical or operational plans with applicable regulatory requirements, supporting approvals, licensing, and compliance across jurisdictions and authorities. Regulatory & Compliance Satellite Handover Satellite Handover is the transfer of an active connection from one satellite, beam, or path to another to maintain service continuity as coverage changes. Operations Surveillance Relay Surveillance Relay is a relay link or node that forwards surveillance data or extends surveillance communications coverage. Software Tracking Tracking is the process of determining and following the position or movement of an object, target, or signal source over time. It supports alignment and control. Operations Tracking Antenna Tracking Antenna is an antenna system that continuously or periodically adjusts its pointing to follow a moving target such as a satellite or aircraft, maintaining alignment with the target as… Hardware
