Opportunities

In peace time the services have about 1,000 space operations specialists. In times of military action the number may be different, depending on the type of specialties required. Each year the services need new specialists due to changes in personnel and the demands of the field. After job training, space operations specialists are assigned to space operations centers, where they use and repair space systems equipment under close supervision. After gaining experience, they work more independently and may help train new workers. Eventually, space operations specialists may advance to become supervisors of space operations centers.
