Spacecraft Operations and Management
USN can provide the expertise and facilities needed for successful satellite operation and control. USN's shared-infrastructure approach reduces the capital costs of a satellite program and minimizes program risk. We work in partnership with our customers to tailor our service to mission needs — so no one pays for more than is required. In addition, having USN handle multiple services enhances continuity and interoperability.

Our capabilities include:

• Mission planning
  
• Monitoring satellite orbit and orientation
  
• Determining desired orbit and commands required to fulfill mission objectives
  
• Monitoring the "health" of spacecraft systems
  
• Formulating and transmitting necessary commands through the network
