SMAD — Space Mission Analysis and Design
Translating mission objectives into a coherent, buildable mission architecture.
Space Mission Analysis and Design (SMAD) is the structured discipline of translating mission objectives into mission architecture, orbit, spacecraft, payload, ground segment, operations, cost and risk decisions.
Space Expert Technologies supports programs from the earliest mission concept through Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and architecture definition — producing the trade studies and requirements baseline that downstream engineering and procurement depend on.
