<br/><br/>Introduction -- Overview space segment -- Mission operations -- Ground data system -- Flight dynamics system -- Mission planning system -- Spacecraft subsystems -- Special topics (human spaceflight operations, ATV operations. space robotic mission operations). 
<br/><br/> The book describes the basic concepts of spaceflight operations, for both, human and unmanned missions. The basic subsystems of a space vehicle are explained in dedicated chapters, the relationship of spacecraft design and the very unique space environment are laid out. Flight dynamics are taught as well as ground segment requirements. Mission operations are divided into preparation including management aspects, execution and planning. Deep space missions and space robotic operations are included as special cases. The book is based on a course held at the German Space Operation Center (GSOC).
