Mission workflow
From idea to flight operations
How we progress through design, prototypes, testing, and documentation in our aerospace projects.
Step 1
Mission scope
Define mission objectives, requirements, and system architecture while evaluating technical risks and constraints.
Step 2
Development and testing
Design, manufacture, integrate, and test subsystems to verify performance before flight.
Step 3
Operations
Conduct system tests, launch or flight operations, analyze results, and document lessons learned for future teams.
Join a mission
Mission teams need many kinds of contributors
Propulsion, structures, software, electronics, simulation, manufacturing, operations, documentation, outreach, and sponsor communication all become mission-critical.
