Spacecraft are complex machines requiring dedicated staff to maintain their operations over the entire duration of a mission. To help prepare the next generation of spacecraft operators, ESA Academy has run the Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Operations Training Course 2019. From 3 – 6 September, 30 Bachelor, Master, and PhD students with a science or engineering background, from 13 different ESA Member States and Canada, attended at ESA Academy’s Training and Learning Facility, ESEC-Galaxia, Belgium. They were joined remotely by 23 university students participating online, watching lectures streamed live or playing them back later, and interacting with the tutor via a forum.
