COMPANY PROFILE

JAOPS is an independent space operations company dedicated to building the future of mission success through robust design, tools, training, and support. We are not just developers or operators—we are mission partners.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES

JAOPS is a premier provider of mission operations design, tools, training, and support, dedicated to ensuring mission success in Earth orbit, cislunar space, and beyond. In the rapidly evolving NewSpace sector, JAOPS addresses the challenges of establishing efficient Mission Control Centers (MCCs) by offering modern solutions that reduce costs and implementation times. Our comprehensive services include turnkey MCC development, operational reviews, training and certification programs, and operations as a service. By leveraging open-source technologies like Yamcs, JAOPS delivers scalable and modular solutions tailored to the specific needs of each mission. Our commitment is encapsulated in our guiding principle: “NEVER FLY ALONE,” reflecting our dedication to collaborative and reliable space operations.

DIFFERENTIATING CHARACTERISTIC

Operations-First Philosophy
JAOPS is built on the belief that operations is not an afterthought—it’s central to mission success. We embed operations thinking into every phase of mission design, not just during execution.

Open-Source Native
Unlike traditional contractors locked into legacy systems, JAOPS embraces open-source tools—especially Yamcs—for their flexibility, transparency, and cost-effectiveness. We don’t just use these tools; we actively support and contribute to their evolution.

Fast, Lean, Scalable
We specialize in building MCCs and operations architectures that are affordable, deployable in weeks, and scalable to any mission size—from university cubesats to commercial constellations to lunar landers.

Truly Collaborative
Our motto, “NEVER FLY ALONE,” is more than words—it’s how we operate. We work side-by-side with mission teams, not as distant consultants, but as embedded partners committed to the mission’s success.

Battle-Tested Expertise
JAOPS isn’t theoretical. Our team has supported ISS ops, lunar landings, rovers, EO satellites, and high-stakes tech demos. We bring real, diverse, and current mission experience into every project.

Tool-Agnostic, Mission-Focused
While we love open-source, we’re not locked into any specific toolset. We adapt to your mission—not the other way around. Our focus is always on operational clarity, efficiency, and resilience.

Training That Builds True Capability
We don’t just train teams—we grow autonomous operators. Our training programs are grounded in real scenarios, real tools, and real accountability. The goal is not dependency, but self-reliance.

Sustainability-Minded
We design for the long term. JAOPS contributes to the broader goal of space sustainability by supporting architectures that are maintainable, extensible, and built on community knowledge—not vendor lock-in.
