 The International Committee on Technical Interchange for Space Mission Operations and Ground Data Systems (SpaceOps Organization, also known as the SpaceOps Committee) is a spacecraft operations oriented international association consisting of representatives from most of the space-faring institutions. SpaceOps was founded in 1990 to foster continuous technical interchange on all aspects of space mission operations and ground data systems, and to promote and maintain an international community of space operations experts. The SpaceOps Conference is a technical forum for the space operations community that addresses state-of-the art operations principles, methods, and tools. The event has been held biennially since 1990 and attracts technologists, scientists, managers, and experts from space agencies, industry, and academia. SpaceOps fosters managerial and technical interchange on all aspects of space mission operations, including robotics, human, Earth orbiting, and deep space.
