Here is the summary of projects that are currently underway or are planned
for the near future:
TransVERSE - An upgrade of the Trans software which permits arbitrary queries
into its model, and supports search to optimize or satisfy criteria.
Distributed Object Controller (DOC) - A system which handles messages passing
between distributed processes to be used as a controller for both RPS2
and the HST operational flow.
RPS2 Toolkit - The specialization of the DOC which allows it to control
RPS2 process flow.
OPS Toolkit - The specialization of the DOC which allows it to control
the HST operational flow.
MOSS in the OPS Toolkit - Inclusion of MOSS, which computes timing and
positions of solar system targets, into the OPS toolkit.
RPS2/NGSS - Make the output of the New Guide Star System (NGSS) available
for use by RPS2 in determining visit schedulability.
NGST Scientist's Expert Assistant (SEA) - A prototype set of tools which
guides and observer through the process of specifying scientific observations.
It includes:
Exposure Time Calculators (ETCs) to simulate data collection for various
instruments. It connects to SYNPHOT servers at STScI to obtain simulation
data.
A Visual Target Tuner (VTT) which superimposes the instruments' field of
view on a region of the sky. It allows roll and pointing constraints to
be specified and connects to several publicly available target catalogs
for target data.
An Assistant which provides TurboTax style guidance through key elements
of the proposal preparation process.
An Exposure Planner, which allows the observer to graphically specify constraints
between exposures and visualize how exposures are organized into orbits.
A Target Selector, which provides a common Java interface for searching
catalogs for object information. New catalogs can be added without
changing existing code.
Export Spike - This is a version of the Spike planning and scheduling software
which has been made available to other observatories. FUSE, ESO/VLT, AXAF,
SIRTF and Subaru are all paying us to customize Export Spike to create
long range plans or short term
schedules for their observations.
An orbit planning GUI prototype is scheduled to be written, allowing observers
to graphically adjust orbital visibility usage by exposures. The idea is
to determine whether such a thing would be a useful part of the Tool of
the Future.
Working with members of other observatories to identify common specifications
for objects used by most or all observatories. E.g. targets, exposures,
observations, proposals, etc.
