Abstract
The Colorado Space Grant Consortium (CSGC) has identified the need for a mission operations concept that supports both reusability and the integration of advanced technologies. The current application of this concept, CSGC´s Citizen Explorer-I (CX-I) satellite project, supports the “faster, better, cheaper” ideology embraced by today´s technological community. The key features of this system are robustness, distributed automation and sophisticated assessment capabilities. This paper will discuss the mission operations system´s origin, its application to the CX-I project and its intended support of future space missions
