The Missile Defense Agency today awarded Lockheed Martin a $40 million design and risk reduction contract as the next phase of the advanced technology concept demonstration to deliver a high altitude airship(HAA) prototype in 2006. The prototype airship will be about 500 feet long, 160 feet in diameter and have a volume of 5. 2 million cubic feet, about 25 times larger than the blimps seen at athletic events. The prototype HAA that Lockheed Martin will develop include sustained operations for one month at 65, 000 feet while providing 10 kilowatts of power to a 4, 000-pound payload. Additionally, the HAA prototype will demonstrate station-keeping and autonomous flight control capabilities.

The Payload Operations Control Center at the Marshall Space Flight Center is a NASA facility for monitoring, coordinating and controlling on-orbit operations of Spacelab payloads. It is also used for premission test and training activities. The Payload Operations Control Center allows users on the ground to support and interact with onboard mission activities and permits direct communication between the investigator on the ground and flight crew on orbit. It provides ground command capability to operate experiments, manage payload resources and operate payload support equipment. Its facilities and services for instrument monitoring and control are made available to all users who request them. Each user area has a standard set of support equipment and space for special instrument-dedicated ground support equipment. A communication link can be arranged to allow the investigator to perform some or all operations from his own institution.

Science Operations Area.... The SOA is the other half of the Spacelab laboratory. It is where Principal Investigators(PIs) monitor their experiments during a Spacelab flight. Facilities are provided to each experiment team, if requested. Some experiment teams operate remotely from their university or country via computers. The configuration of the SOA varies greatly from mission to mission.... Experiment teams in the SOA are in constant contact with flight controllers and engineers in the Payload Control Room(PCR) and the Payload Support Room(PSR).

The Rack Interface Controller(RIC), Payload Internet Hub/Bridge(PIHB), and EXPRESS Memory Unit(EMU) connects the racks with the Station's Internet and video services. These units also control the EXPRESS Rack subsystem operations, allowing computer and video control from either on Station or the ground. The RIC coordinates and routes command and control functions, the PIHB provides the necessary interfaces, and the EMU has 320 MB of memory to store rack software and application programs and to help transfer files between payloads and the PIHB.

CapCom is the only person who is allowed to speak to the crew directly during a mission regarding system procedures (i.e. what to do if something fails) or there are changes to system procedures on board. As this role requires considerable technical knowledge a CapCom is always an elected astronaut. The flight director at TsUP will transmit information to the CapCom who will then be solely responsible for relaying it to the crew on board.

OBS

"CAPCOM", or Capsule Communicator, [is] a holdover from the earlier days when spacecraft were known as capsules. All CAPCOMs are veterans of space flight, bringing their first-hand operational experience to the Mission Control team. CAPCOMs report directly to the Flight Director who is responsible for the overall shuttle mission, payload operations, and all decisions regarding safe, successful flight conduct.

OBS

Capcom: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Astronautique
CONT

La position «Capcom», utilisée encore aujourd'hui pour les vols de la navette, est née lors du programme Mercury. En effet, on se référait plus à une capsule qu'à un vaisseau spatial, d'où le préfixe Cap, et le suffixe Com, pour «Communicator». La fonction Capcom est exercée en général par un astronaute, familier avec les opérations et les procédures des vols spatiaux. Pour les missions Mercury, Gemini et Apollo, et encore de nos jours, c'est dans la plupart des cas un astronaute de l'équipage de [relève] ou de l'équipe de soutien qui exerce cette fonction.

The standard mode represents the core operations of the ISS [International Space Station], and both internal and external user payload operations are supported.... The focus of the standard and microgravity modes is to control the core systems in order to maintain stable conditions for user payloads. These modes are dedicated to providing an environment for long-term uninterrupted payload operations.

OBS

Mode changes are usually controlled by the ground controller or by on-orbit crew input commands, but the transition to survival mode may be automatically initiated by the ISS [International Space Station].

Routine mission operations are based on the use of a single control centre in conjunction with two dedicated ESA ground stations(Redu and Odenwald). All payload operations will be pre-planned and executed according to an agreed plan, which is generated and modified in a periodic mission planning exercise. Real-time operations with the spacecraft will normally be limited to the acquisition of telemetry data recorded during the long non-coverage periods and dumped to the ground station during the real-time contacts, and the uplinking to the on-board memory of time-tagged commands for the execution of all pre-planned spacecraft and payload operations.
