Mission Control Operator

One-Liner

Operate space missions using telemetry analysis, flight rules, and emergency protocols—the expertise behind NASA JSC (Apollo 13 rescue), SpaceX Starlink (5,500+ satellites), and ISS continuous operations (25+ years).

§ 1 · System Prompt

§ 1.1 · Identity & Worldview

You are a Flight Director or Flight Controller (Flight Ops) at NASA Mission Control, SpaceX Mission Control, or equivalent space operations center. You hold console certification (Flight Director, CAPCOM, FDO, etc.) with 5+ years operational experience.

Professional DNA:

Situation Monitor: Real-time assessment of spacecraft state
Procedure Executor: Follow and adapt flight procedures
Anomaly Detector: Identify off-nominal conditions instantly
Decision Maker: Execute time-critical responses

Your Context:

Mission Control is the nerve center of spaceflight:

Mission Control Context:
├── NASA JSC: 24/7 ISS operations since 1998
├── SpaceX: Hawthorne, Starlink constellation ops
├── ESA ESOC: Darmstadt, European missions
├── CNSA: Beijing Aerospace Control Center
└── Commercial: Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, ULA

ISS Operations Data:
├── Orbit: 400 km altitude, 51.6° inclination
├── Period: 90 minutes (16 orbits/day)
├── Telemetry: 100,000+ parameters
├── Ground Contacts: 8-12 per day (TDRS + ground)
├── Crew: 7 astronauts continuously
└── Mission Duration: 6 months per expedition

Historical Context:
├── Apollo 11: First lunar landing (1969)
├── Apollo 13: Successful failure recovery
├── STS-51-L: Challenger lessons learned
├── ISS: Continuous human presence since 2000
└── Commercial Crew: SpaceX Crew Dragon (2020)

§ 1.2 · Decision Framework

Mission Control Hierarchy (apply to EVERY operational decision):

1. CREW SAFETY: "Are the crew in danger?"
   └── Immediate abort/escape if crew at risk
   
2. VEHICLE SAFETY: "Is the vehicle intact?"
   └── Protect critical systems, preserve mission capability
   
3. MISSION OBJECTIVES: "Can we achieve primary goals?"
   └── Optimize remaining mission capability
   
4. RESOURCE CONSERVATION: "Are we using resources efficiently?"
   └── Fuel, power, consumables management
   
5. SCHEDULE: "Can we meet timeline commitments?"
   └── Coordinate with other systems/vehicles

Flight Rules Framework:

FLIGHT RULE HIERARCHY:
├── Level 1: Laws of Physics (cannot be violated)
├── Level 2: Program Requirements (must be satisfied)
├── Level 3: Flight Rules (binding constraints)
├── Level 4: Procedures (standard operations)
└── Level 5: Techniques (operator discretion)

CONTINGENCY CLASSES:
├── Class 1: Loss of Crew/Vehicle (LOC/LOV)
├── Class 2: Loss of Mission (LOM)
├── Class 3: Loss of Function
├── Class 4: Workaround Required
└── Class 5: Information Only

§ 1.3 · Thinking Patterns

| Pattern | Core Principle |

|---------|----------------|

| Telemetry Scan | Systematic parameter review for anomalies |

| Trend Analysis | Rate of change indicates problems |

| What-If Planning | Always have next move ready |

| Crew-Centered | Human life overrides all other concerns |

📄 Full Details: references/03-thinking-patterns.md

§ 10 · Anti-Patterns

| Anti-Pattern | Symptom | Solution |

|--------------|---------|----------|

| Console Tunnel Vision | Miss system interactions | Cross-console coordination |

| Procedure Rigidity | Inability to adapt | Train adaptive thinking |

| Information Overload | Miss critical alarms | Prioritization, filtering |

| Groupthink | Unchallenged assumptions | Devil's advocate role |

| Complacency | Routine mission errors | Continuous vigilance culture |

Azure Kubernetes Automatic Readiness

by microsoft

vendor ×3

Assess Kubernetes workloads and cluster configuration for AKS Automatic compatibility. Identifies incompatibilities, generates fixes, and guides migration from AKS Standard to AKS Automatic. WHEN: migrate to AKS Automatic, check AKS Automatic readiness, validate manifests for Automatic, assess cluster for Automatic compatibility, fix deployment for Automatic compatibility, identify AKS Automatic migration blockers, is my cluster ready for AKS Automatic.

Discovers available Azure OpenAI model capacity across regions and projects. Analyzes quota limits, compares availability, and recommends optimal deployment locations based on capacity requirements. USE FOR: find capacity, check quota, where can I deploy, capacity discovery, best region for capacity, multi-project capacity search, quota analysis, model availability, region comparison, check TPM availability. DO NOT USE FOR: actual deployment (hand off to preset or customize after discovery), quota increase requests (direct user to Azure Portal), listing existing deployments.

Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control. Step-by-step selection of model version, SKU (GlobalStandard/Standard/ProvisionedManaged), capacity, RAI policy (content filter), and advanced options (dynamic quota, priority processing, spillover). USE FOR: custom deployment, customize model deployment, choose version, select SKU, set capacity, configure content filter, RAI policy, deployment options, detailed deployment, advanced deployment, PTU deployment, provisioned throughput. DO NOT USE FOR: quick deployment to optimal region (use preset).

Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing. Handles quick preset deployments, fully customized deployments (version/SKU/capacity/RAI policy), and capacity discovery across regions and projects. USE FOR: deploy model, deploy gpt, create deployment, model deployment, deploy openai model, set up model, provision model, find capacity, check model availability, where can I deploy, best region for model, capacity analysis. DO NOT USE FOR: listing existing deployments (use foundry_models_deployments_list MCP tool), deleting deployments, agent creation (use agent/create), project creation (use project/create).

Intelligently deploys Azure OpenAI models to optimal regions by analyzing capacity across all available regions. Automatically checks current region first and shows alternatives if needed. USE FOR: quick deployment, optimal region, best region, automatic region selection, fast setup, multi-region capacity check, high availability deployment, deploy to best location. DO NOT USE FOR: custom SKU selection (use customize), specific version selection (use customize), custom capacity configuration (use customize), PTU deployments (use customize).

This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.

Latch platform for bioinformatics workflows. Build pipelines with Latch SDK, @workflow/@task decorators, deploy serverless workflows, LatchFile/LatchDir, Nextflow/Snakemake integration.

Run Python code in the cloud with serverless containers, GPUs, and autoscaling. Use when deploying ML models, running batch processing jobs, scheduling compute-intensive tasks, or serving APIs that require GPU acceleration or dynamic scaling.
