At one satellite, you know it by heart, but are learning things for the first time. When managing a fleet of 100 or 1,000 assets in low earth orbit (LEO), normal can be a claim you're making against 100x the variables. - [Two Engineers From SpaceX and Impulse Space on Scaling a Satellite Fleet](https://nominal.io/blog/satellite-fleet-operations.md): Every engineer responsible for satellite operations carries a mental model of what “normal” looks like. At one satellite, you know it by heart, but are learning things for the first time. When managing a fleet of 100 or 1,000 assets in low earth orbit (LEO), normal can be a claim you're making against 100x the variables. - [Why Is Your Operational Procedure in a Different System Than Your Test Data?](https://nominal.io/blog/test-procedures.md): Procedures are the life force of high consequence operations.
