Mission Architecture

Mission Architecture is a conceptual framework that defines the high-level structure, components, and interactions of a space mission system, distinguishing it from other engineering artifacts by specifying how scientific objectives, spacecraft design, trajectory, operations, and resource allocation are systematically integrated to achieve mission goals within interplanetary spacecraft design and mission archaeology contexts.
