User guide

Create your free account, sign in, choose your language and find your way around the platform.

Change your name, organisation, language and password, and see your achievements.

What the 15 000 FCFA membership fee is, what it gives you, how to pay it and how a JFN university gets it free.

From the careers page to the offer: apply, send your documents, come to the call and the interview, and answer the offer.

How a contract or agreement is signed from a personal link, what is kept as proof, and how anyone can check a document or a certificate.

Take the space mission design courses, pass the lesson quizzes and ask questions in the training forum.

Step by step labs where you design a real small satellite with the platform tools and check your answers.

Create a mission design with its orbit and payload, run the orbit analysis and read the mass, power and link budgets.

Work through every subsystem of a satellite in one place and roll the budgets up automatically.

Watch a CubeSat deploy its panels and change attitude as mission rules switch its modes. Edit everything, no account needed for the demo.

Describe what you need to observe, see which existing missions already measure it and test what a new constellation would add.

Find commercial spacecraft components with the figures their makers publish, and see where each figure comes from.

Read recent papers on small satellite topics from OpenAlex and arXiv before you fix a design choice.

Estimate the dose, the particle fluxes and the single event upsets that your orbit and shielding give.

One place to go from a problem, to a mission, to the satellite or satellites that carry it out. Start from a blank study or copy a demo.

Invite people, give each a role and decide which subsystems they can see and change. Roles and subsystems are yours to edit.

Say what the problem is and who needs what, compare the ways to solve it, and look at the missions that already exist.

State the mission with ESA style objectives, write traceable requirements, draw the data flow, set the orbit, play the operations and plan the phases.

Build the satellite as one 3D assembly with real coordinates, share it between subsystems and read the budgets that come from it. For a constellation, one design is flown many times.

Get the cost and the programme of the mission worked out from the design, with sourced market rates, taxes, filings and people, in euro, US dollar or FCFA.

A report in the structure of an ESA mission analysis and design report, built from the study. Print it or save it as a PDF.

Find the standards behind each part of the study, download them and open them at the exact pages that matter.

Search real satellites, design your own constellation, measure its coverage and screen it for collision risk on a 3D globe.

Follow one spacecraft: load an OEM ephemeris file, watch a live stream or open one of your mission designs.

One place to view and download free satellite pictures, scenes, aircraft and ship data for a country, economic zone or sea area.

See which rockets launch next, with a live countdown, and where their pads are on a realistic Earth.

From payment to certificate: instalments, choosing a session, the mock exam, exam day, retake and verification.

Join live sessions inside the platform, ask questions, and schedule webinars if you are a host.

See how a university can train space engineers with real satellite hardware, and book a call with the NMD team.

Ask a question, answer a colleague, follow a topic and report a text that should not be there. Some rooms are for certified members.

Be told of replies, announcements and reminders even when the platform is closed, and choose what you receive.

For the team: read the reports, remove or keep a text, mute an author, create a room and link it to a WhatsApp group.

Run a quality, project, assembly or HR procedure step by step, with approvals tracked and archived. Edit or delete a run when it was set up wrongly.

Accept your invitation, take the welcome tour and learn how your workspace is organised.

Sign your contract on your phone, get an attestation and let anyone check that a document is genuine.

Ask for leave, see your paid leave balance and, for managers, decide on requests.

Run work on a simple board: to do, in progress, in review and done.

One list of every person and organisation, with notes of every call and message, what to do next, and the pipeline of deals.

Plan meetings, join them in the built in video room and keep the agenda and minutes together.

For HR and administrators: enter the organisation details, prepare and sign contracts, and set up payroll rules with their sources.

Invite a colleague with a role, send or copy the link and withdraw access when someone leaves.

Set up your mailbox once. What you send to people from the platform then goes out from your address, and is kept in the CRM.

Open anyone and see the last conversation, the next action (what, when, who), their emails with the files, their documents, meetings and proposals. Write to them with files from the same page.

Send an email, a notice or a call list to all the members, all who registered, all the staff, all the applicants, a stage of the prospects or a tag.

Every proposal and every invoice goes out from one address, set up by the accountant.

From the page of a person, send an invitation with a calendar entry and a link to a video room, get a reminder, and join. Colleagues can all be in a meeting at the same moment.

Describe the client and the job. The assistant chooses the lines of the rate card and counts them, the price is computed from the rate card, you check it, and the accountant or a sales officer sends it.

The accountant keeps the figures every proposal is built from: a day of a trainer, a night in a hotel, a flight. Each says where it comes from and whether it was reviewed.

Every day each member of staff talks to people. My day lists them with a message ready, and the new profiles the outreach agent found for you.

Add the numbers of people who agreed to hear from us, follow where each stands from the CRM, and hand a person over cleanly.

Link your number or an official NMD number by scanning a code, choose the chats the assistant follows, and unlink and erase when you want.

Define a post once, announce it, handle the applications, hold the calls and interviews, make the offer, and turn the person into staff.

Prepare a confidentiality agreement or an acknowledgement of debt, send it for signature by email, and follow it until it is signed.

Give a number to every person who comes in, issue and replace cards, register visitors, set the zones and doors, and follow who passed.

Manage users and roles, grant procedure permissions, follow the numbers and run the monthly certification sessions.

See who follows how many people, share out the people nobody follows, hand over everybody of a colleague who leaves, and manage the stages of the CRM.

For the owner: read every payment, see the members and the certification, download a spreadsheet, and withdraw the Mobile Money balance.

See how signatures and records are gathered in batches and anchored in Bitcoin, and issue credentials for past certificates.

Read where visitors go, click, hover and stop, how far they get towards registering and paying the membership fee, and the advice that follows.
