JAOPS

JAOPS is a mission-operations engineering company based in Tokyo, Japan, providing a one-stop shop for Mission Operations Design, tools, training and support. The company addresses the historical gap between spacecraft hardware/software development and operational readiness, offering turnkey Mission Control Center (MCC) deployment, operational reviews, training and certification programs, and Operations-as-a-Service (OaaS) for newspace companies that need flight-proven ground segment facilities quickly.

JAOPS is a deep expert in the open-source Yamcs mission control system (used by companies including Epsilon3, AWS and Quindar Space, and referenced in a NASA state-of-the-art report), and develops Yamcs Gateway, a module extending Yamcs into early development phases so the same tools, procedures and displays can be used from AIT through operations. JAOPS supports data processing and mission planning, context evaluation, anomaly resolution and real-time monitoring/control, and is building toward deploying multiple multi-mission control centers worldwide to serve as prime or backup operations facilities.
