| Mission Operations Complex (MOX) |
|
 |
|
| The nerve centre for this Moon Mission will be the Mission Operations Complex, situated within the ISTRAC campus, Bangalore. The MOX will be responsible for all spacecraft operations during various phases of the mission viz. pre-launch, launch and early orbit phase, normal phase and terminal phase, as well as for the health monitoring of the spacecraft and payloads. MOX is authorised for up linking of commands for change of onboard configuration, payload operations and conduction of maneuvers as required. MOX facility has a number of elements that function in unison to support round-the-clock spacecraft operations. The Mission Operations Complex and the ISSDC facilities are linked through a secure network for data transfers. |

| Spacecraft Operations |
| Mission activities will be conducted from the Mission Operations Complex. The health keeping data / dwell received will be monitored in real-time to ensure good functioning of the onboard systems. Telecommands for changes of spacecraft configurations and payload operations will be uplinked after verification and due authorisation. The centre will also be equipped to handle special operations and contingency recovery. Periodic orbit maneuvers will be planned and conducted to maintain the altitude /eccentricity that satisfies the payload data overlap requirements and safe altitude of the spacecraft. Periodical reports on the performance of spacecraft and payload services are generated and passed on to designers and users. The centre maintains an archive of all satellite operations, health, special operations, attitude/orbit maneuvers, anomalies and recoveries.

| ISTRAC Network Control Centre (NCC) |
|
NCC enables remote monitoring and control of all ISTRAC Ground Stations including IDSN and it is located in Peenya, Bangalore Campus. NCC also facilitates Data Service from all stations through Standard Station Computers, SLE Gateway or any other agency specific data interface through external station computers. The payload data acquisition system at IDSN also interfaces with NCC for obtaining the payload operations schedule. The multi-mission schedule system of ISTRAC provides the required schedules to NCC for day-to-day operations.
