description As new technical solutions emerge with developing technology, availability of spare parts and suppliers utilized for continued maintainability of satellite systems throughout their service lives diminishes on a yearly basis. Consequently, older technology becomes harder to support, with subsystems and spare parts within the system inevitably becoming obsolete. Obsolescence Management aims to enable continued maintainability of systems, preserving capabilities as defined in initial project requirements and (if required) enhancing system capabilities through modernization, thereby ensuring continued operation throughout their service lives. Throughout this study, Space systems has been introduced due to the obsolescence necessities and TOPSIS decision making method is used for predefined Logistics’ Breakdown Structure (LBS) items which is selected from different Satellite Ground Segment Equipment. With this decisionmaking method, High and Low risk component’s obsolescence management approach has been defined
