Description
The military has been developing formal training programs for decades. The continual need for quality personnel to perform in a variety of positions has driven the development of several organizations dedicated solely to training. The space operations environment has been no exception.
Military participation in space operations has visibly grown over the past ten years. Tc accommodate the growing need for qualified space operations personnel, programs aimed at space training have matured rapidly. Current training programs stress formal courses designed to train a maximum number of students in the most efficient manner possible.
As the military entered the world of space operations, no formal training programs existed. Space systems manufacturers provided the bulk of technical expertise through informal classes conducted at their respective factories. This effort was primarily in support of the missile warning and space surveillance roles of the North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) Command and the Aerospace Defense Command (ADC). While training was partially provided, by -civilian manufacturers, onthe- job training played a far bigger role in producing qualified personnel.
