Success Stories
| MIDAS (Managed Intelligent Deconfliction and Scheduling) for the Air Force Satellite Control Network Provides a user-friendly interface modeled on legacy Electronic Schedule Dissemination (ESD) systems. It runs on inexpensive consumer hardware and communicates with legacy systems via a well-defined plain-text file format. |
PASAP (Phased Array Smart Allocation and Planning) Automated deconfliction and path planning technology developed to enable phased array antennas to support multiple simultaneous satellite contacts without overlapping active areas. |
| Aurora-KSC Improves the processing, verification, and validation for the Space Launch System. Highlights include efficient scheduling and fewer requirements for human planners. |
Aurora AMP (Automated Manifest Planner) for Space Shuttle Scheduling Performs long and short-term schedules for ground-based activities and before and after space missions. |
| SSN Scheduling Scheduling algorithm that takes as input the space catalog and the associated covariance matrices and produces a globally optimized schedule for each sensor site as to what objects to observe and when. Is able to schedule more observations with the same sensor resources and have those observations be more complementary. |
OPIR Scheduling Building on the prior version of Aurora-based JOPC Automatic OPIR Scheduler’s prototype, we developed a full-scale, operational system, integrating it with the operational environment, and conducting tests and trials with JOPC Schedulers and real operational data. |
| IFAP for ISS Scheduling Used to assign flight activities, enabling the planners to quantify the risks of each plan. Planners control the scheduling process by choosing from a list of intelligent heuristics. |
