This article examines the space segment as part of the structuring process of an aerospace project, starting from the problem of disarticulation of design processes, the omission of operational factors, and unawareness of the behavior of the space segment in orbit. For this purpose, it is necessary to revisit the steps required in the mission design of a space system, the architecture and the constituent subsystems of the generic segment, as well as the useful operational factors for the development of the mission concept. Hence, different representations of the orientation and translation movement of the space segment are presented as a guide for the modeling of low-orbit observation missions. Based on this, two characterizations of design and representation requirements are provided as practical examples —both for the mission design, with the synthesis of mission objectives of a space program, and the representation of the space segment— against the needs of a close proximity mission with in-orbit maneuvering capabilities that may require not one but several coordinated satellites; all this by using the Electromagnetic Formation Flying method (EMFF).
