Mars Express Science Ground Segment overview: A study about the mission's evolution, new challenges and future perspectives
Abstract
We present an overview of more than 13 years of mission operations from the perspective of the Science Ground Segment (SGS), including the evolution of the mission planning system and summarizing the new challenges ahead for the years remaining until the end of the mission. In addition, we will emphasize the planning for the solar conjunction season during the Summer of 2017. In comparison with the SGS planning for the Rosetta mission, we will present some observation statistics and we will conclude with the planned system improvements and future mission perspectives.
