Mission Communications
Turn mission data and team capability into clear, human stories — explaining what happened, why it matters, and what could come next.
Role
Mission Communications are responsible for explaining the work of the Space Agency. You translate real mission data, results, and decisions into stories that can be understood by students, teachers, parents, and the wider community.
You do not invent results or manage missions. You make the real work visible, meaningful, and inspiring.
Team Brief — How You Work With Other Teams
Every team feeds into Mission Communications.
- Mission Instrumentation provide the mission data and explain how it was collected and what its limitations are.
- Launch Services and Satellite Services provide flight and recovery context that helps explain mission outcomes.
- Command & Control provide mission objectives, constraints, decisions, and lessons learned.
Your role is to connect these pieces into a clear narrative that shows how the agency operates and how its capability is growing over time.
Capabilities Progression
- Level 1: Mission Explainer — clear, accurate explanation of what the mission attempted and achieved
- Level 2: Data to Story — visualise mission data and explain why it matters
- Level 3: Mission Identity — create a mission patch and capability star
- Level 4: Agency Story — place the mission in historical and real-world context
- Level 5: Exploration Narrative — communicate future ambition and possibilities responsibly
What Success Looks Like
- Mission results are explained clearly and accurately
- Data is visualised in ways that non-specialists can understand
- The agency’s growing capability is visible and credible
- Others feel informed, inspired, and motivated to take part
When Mission Communications succeed, the Space Agency earns trust, builds ambition, and attracts new people to its missions.
