What You Should Do To Run A Space Network
  • Automate processes.
    Encode many operations in a remote device, so it can solve its own problems.
  • Bulletproof your gear.
    Refine systems under your direct control, like Deep Space Network antennas, to make sure they arent the cause of an outage.
  • Be persistent.
    Analyze any shred of communication. Build theories. Exploit small wins.
  • Simulate potential problems.
    Test theories on duplicate devices, under your control, even if conditions arent alike.
