Managing science-driven projects involve important differences with respect to other types of space missions. The main one is the character of science, exploring the unknown, that establishes how the final output is evaluated and thus the tools used to maximize it. For space missions supporting market-driven applications, the assessment of performance is clearly defined by the quality of the service provided and its added value. For space science missions, success is evaluated in terms of the advance of scientific knowledge, based on new discoveries and the tests of the laws of nature. The output can be facilitated but not fully predicted. Thus, performance has to consider initial science goals and the engineering requirements to achieve them but also, and most important, the preservation and maximization of the potential for unknown discoveries. The key indicator of the success of a space science mission is the quality and quantity of achieved scientific breakthroughs and discoveries. To optimize them, we need to consider the full mission lifecycle, from the mission definition through the development and its operations. In this paper, we discuss some management considerations to ensure and maximize the science output of a space mission over its whole lifecycle, from planning to operations. Specific elements are proposed to evaluate the results.

论空间任务科学产出的最大化

管理科学驱动的项目与其他类型的太空任务存在重要差异。主要的一个是科学的特征，探索未知，确定如何评估最终输出，从而确定用于最大化它的工具。对于支持市场驱动应用的太空任务，绩效评估由所提供服务的质量及其附加值明确定义。对于空间科学任务，根据新发现和对自然规律的测试，根据科学知识的进步来评估成功。可以促进输出，但不能完全预测。因此，性能必须考虑最初的科学目标和实现这些目标的工程要求，但最重要的是，要保留和最大化未知发现的潜力。空间科学任务成功与否的关键指标是取得的科学突破和发现的质量和数量。为了优化它们，我们需要考虑完整的任务生命周期，从任务定义到开发及其运营。在本文中，我们讨论了一些管理考虑因素，以确保和最大化太空任务在整个生命周期（从规划到运营）的科学输出。提出了具体的要素来评估结果。我们讨论了一些管理方面的考虑，以确保和最大化太空任务在整个生命周期（从规划到运营）的科学产出。提出了具体的要素来评估结果。我们讨论了一些管理方面的考虑，以确保和最大化太空任务在整个生命周期（从规划到运营）的科学产出。提出了具体的要素来评估结果。
