👉 Crew engineering is the specialized discipline responsible for the maintenance, operation, and optimization of the systems and equipment aboard a spacecraft or space station. It encompasses a wide range of tasks, including managing life support systems, propulsion, power generation and distribution, communication equipment, navigation tools, and scientific instruments. Crew engineers ensure that all onboard systems function efficiently and safely, enabling the crew to perform their duties effectively while also addressing any technical issues that arise during missions. This role requires a deep understanding of mechanical, electrical, and software systems, as well as strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work under high-pressure conditions.
