ARES
ARES enables satellite operators and engineers to develop, edit, and execute complex spacecraft commanding procedures easily, efficiently, and accurately. ARES provides complete end-to-end capability for procedure needs in operations. It includes both an online procedure execution interface with ISI's EPOCH T&C (Telemetry and Command) system and a separate offline tool for building these procedures.
The ARES format mimics layouts typical of spacecraft manufacturer's procedures to maximize the user's comfort with the system while minimizing development time and errors. All functions necessary to execute and monitor the procedure, including telemetry checks, commands, and spacecraft events are presented clearly within the ARES environment in one single display.
ARES procedures are simple, individual, tab-delimited text files. Users require no special programming-related training to develop ARES procedures with the ARES Procedure Builder. Selecting options from the ARES Procedure Builder's command and telemetry pick list menus makes the process quick and easy. Furthermore, a validation process in both the ARES Execution Shell and the ARES Procedure Builder ensures that all procedures are completely correct, so that they can be executed safely on the real-time system.
An Integrated Solution
ARES offers a comprehensive, yet easy solution for operators and engineers working with procedures; but even more importantly, ARES increases the overall efficiency and accuracy of the procedure generation and command procedure execution process in satellite operations. ARES is ideal for developing and executing critical spacecraft procedures containing any ordered sequence of commands and telemetry checks.
