USA Flight Design and Dynamics engineers are experts in developing spacecraft trajectories: ascent, on-orbit, rendezvous, and entry mission phases. The challenges are critical in meeting the constraints of the vehicle, crew safety, and mission objectives. Capabilities include understanding and communicating requirements to team members, designing ascent and entry trajectories, designing rendezvous and proximity operation profiles, managing mission consumables, and integrating the efforts of the team.

These engineers have the skills to balance safety constraints, spacecraft capability, mission objectives, and the physical environment to produce successful and safe missions. They follow established processes, perform quality assurance checks, and respond to late changing requirements while meeting tight schedules and maintaining the quality and integrity required for mission operations.

USA Flight Design and Dynamics engineers also have a comprehensive understanding of orbital mechanics and complex dynamic geometric alignment situations. They develop precise solutions to line-of-sight problems for satellite communications scheduling.

USA expertise in these areas has been crucial to the success of the Shuttle and International Space Station programs, and demonstrates USA core values and experience — valuable assets to any industry.
