Mission Design
The SNAFD Team has over 130 accumulative years of mission design and execution. We augment this core
team with our Senior Advisory Council (SAC) whose role is to independently review and assess the quality and
reliability of SNAFD solutions. The SAC consists of 13 retired JPL navigators, headed by James P.
McDanell, former head of JPLs Navigation and Flight Mechanics Section. They contribute over 420
additional years of experience in Space Mission Operations while providing our customers with independent,
formal reviews and associated documentation.
