Abstract

Spacecraft operations require smooth and reliable product transfer between the control center subsystems, and the external entities. Compared to the popular data-driven approach for exchanging products, the service-oriented architecture provides a high level of modularity, high flexibility in deployment, and scalability. 
Therefore, the Flight Dynamics section at the German Space Operations Center (GSOC/DLR) started to establish microservices, which provide the flight dynamic core functionality to dedicated users via network services. A set of wrapped, high level core libraries is connected to web services, which provide data products on request. 
Within this presentation, the concept, design, as well as use-cases of providing services for mission support are shown.
