Currently, thirteen space agencies are members of the organization.[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] SpaceOps also has non-space agency members from academia[11] and industry.[12]

Publications

In 2004, the AIAA Space Operations and Support Technical Committee[17] partnered with the SpaceOps Organization [18] to publish the Journal of Space Operations & Communicator,[19] a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to spaceflight operations and ground support.

Since 2006 most of the conference hosts have decided to publish a post-conference book. These books contain around 30 of the best papers that have been handed in for the conference. The selected papers were all updated, corrected and in many cases extended by the authors following their nomination at the conference. [20]

Awards program

Through its awards program,[21] the SpaceOps Organization recognizes outstanding achievement by individuals and teams in the space operations field. The “International SpaceOps Exceptional Achievement Medal".[22] award recognizes an individual who has distinguished himself or herself in the field of space operations and support.
