Space Program Management System

A comprehensive C++ program for managing space missions, vehicles, and personnel. This system simulates the management of various space-related entities including rockets, astronauts, satellites, and the International Space Station (ISS).

Features

1. Vehicle Management

• Rockets

  • Create and manage rocket specifications
  • Track fuel levels, dimensions, and mission parameters
  • Support for multiple rocket configurations
  • Operator overloading for comparison and basic operations

• Space Shuttles

  • Manage reusable space vehicles
  • Track passenger capacity
  • Monitor reusability status

• Spacecraft

  • Advanced space vehicle management
  • Multiple inheritance implementation
  • Propulsion system tracking
  • Engine integration

• Rovers

  • Specialized space exploration vehicles
  • Track operational lifespan in Sols
  • Mission-specific configurations

2. Personnel Management

• Astronauts
  • Comprehensive astronaut profile management
  • Track experience and mission history
  • Monitor training hours
  • Age and qualification verification

3. Mission Infrastructure

• Satellites

  • Satellite deployment and tracking
  • Orbit management
  • Mission-specific configurations

• ISS Management

  • Real-time status monitoring
  • Resource management (oxygen, water, food)
  • Crew capacity tracking
  • Docking system management
  • Spacecraft docking/undocking operations

4. Mission Control

• Mission Planning

  • Mission creation and management
  • Resource allocation
  • Launch sequence management

• Logging System

  • Comprehensive mission logging
  • Critical event tracking
  • Issue and vulnerability management

Technical Features

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• C++ compiler (C++11 or later)
• Basic understanding of space mission concepts

Compilation

g++ main.cpp -o space_program

Running the Program

./space_program

Usage

The program provides a menu-driven interface with the following main options:

1. Manage Rockets
2. Manage Astronauts
3. Manage Satellites
4. Manage ISS
5. Advanced Vehicle Management
   • Space Shuttles
   • Spacecrafts
   • Rovers
   • Engines
6. Exit

Each management section provides options to:

• Add new entities
• View existing entities
• Modify configurations
• Monitor status

Code Examples

Creating a New Rocket

Rockets r1(311, 60.0, 100.0, 9.0, "Falcon", "Cape Canaveral", "Mars");

Managing ISS

ISS iss;
iss.displayStatus();
iss.updateResourceStatus();
iss.addCrewMember();

Future Improvements
