Mission Three flies the same kind of Earth-observation work as Mission Two, over two new regions, from a higher and more steeply inclined orbit. The flying is familiar on purpose. What changes is the deliverable: this mission is scored on the situation report you produce, not on the pass you flew.

The flying is Mission Two's, from a higher and more steeply inclined orbit. What changes is the deliverable: this mission is scored on the situation report, and both operating roles carry the same job of telling a failing part from an adversary. Click a role to see what it holds this mission.

You combine and you cut. Two reports go in, one goes up.

Focus: the report that leaves the room.

• · Combine the Satellite Operations and Payload Operations situation reports into one
• · Drop the per-step raw telemetry samples and the full command logs
• · Write the single most important line: mission status, whether primary tasking was achieved, and any decision required
• · Carry it to the mission leader

Every anomaly you will ever see arrives looking the same: a number that is not what you expected. The work is deciding whether a part is wearing out or somebody is in your system, and the two demand completely different responses. Click a step for the reasoning behind it.

Zendir, the digital twin and mission simulation platform Kestrel procured, replicates your satellite operations center. Everything you rehearsed here you now do for real inside it: one mission objective and ten scored questions. The ten questions land on the situation report and the discriminator you just walked. Run it in three steps: take your assigned consoles, fly the one objective and answer the ten questions in platform where they are scored, then note the score and come back here for the debrief. Your facilitator provides Zendir access, and two things must be true before you fly.

Zendir scored your mission out of 100 toward the Top SCOR Team standings. Note where you landed, then run the debrief while it is fresh. Work these three questions in order; the last one is the one that becomes an engineering update in the quarterly SCOR exercise.
