IsoWAN: A NASA Science and Engineering Information and Services Framework

We believe that the next evolutionary step in supporting wide-area application and services delivery to customers is a network framework that provides for collocation of applications and services at distinct sites in the network, an interconnection between these sites that is performance optimized for these applications, and value-added services for applications. We use the term IsoWAN to descr...

Coordinating Aircraft During NASA Airborne Science Field Campaigns

-­ The NASA Real Time Mission Monitor (RTMM) is a situational awareness decision-support tool that integrates real time aircraft tracks, aircraft waypoints, satellite imagery, radar products, surface observations, model output parameters and airborne remote sensing variables in an easy to use and view web-based application. RTMM optimizes real time decision-making for mission scientists, pil...

Improving science yield for NASA Swift with automated planning technologies

The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer is a uniquely capable mission, with three on-board instruments and rapid slewing capabilities. It serves as a fast-response satellite observatory for everything from gravitational-wave counterpart searches to cometary science. Swift averages 125 different observations per day, and is consistently over-subscribed, responding to about one-hundred Target of Oport...
