We will discuss how ESOC supports missions through ground segment engineering, ESTRACK tracking stations, flight dynamics, mission planning, and control systems across all mission phases—from launch and commissioning to routine operations, extensions, recoveries, and end-of-life disposal. The talk also highlights real mission examples such as INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton.
