The Aerospace Corporation's Mission Assurance Baseline (MAB) for space and ground systems is a set of tasks performed to increase confidence of achieving mission success for a satellite system and associated ground systems. The set represents activities for all space vehicle mission types across all acquisition and mission phases. This set is based on mission success guidance found in specifications and standards, policy, and other guidance, ETG expertise, industry best practices, and lessons learned.
