Satellite launch programs typically move through mission definition, payload integration, launch vehicle preparation, pre-launch testing, launch execution, ascent or sub-orbital flight, payload deployment or data collection, and post-flight analysis. For a high-cadence atmospheric mission, the same framework applies, but with added emphasis on repeatability, turnaround planning, and comparing results across multiple launches in a coordinated campaign.
