What is it about?

Shit work is an excellent way to increase productivity such as image reception without mahor increases in infrastructure. Howerver, while shift work provides potential productivity advantages, it also has many inherent risks. so we are striving to relieve the negative effects of shift work by applying rules and systems

Why is it important?

Some of the most serous and persistent problems that shift worker face are frequent sleep disturbance and fatigue. These problems can lead to poor concentration and errors during multi-satellite operation

Perspectives

I am working for a satellite operation engineer in LEO satellte mission operation department in KARI. The biggest difficulties faced by shit wrokers for real-time satellite operation are sleep disorders, indigestion, a lack of time for family and social life, accumulation of fatigue, etc. due to irregular working hours, which can lead to the risk of safety accidents. To solve these issues, opportunities should be given to them to recharge themsleves through sufficient rest, training, system automation, specialization, flexible shift working hours, and reduction of graveyard shift hours, etc. The environment should be supported for operators to realize respect for human's life and dignity.
