International Solar-Terrestrial Program Key Parameter Visualization Tool Data: USA_NASA_DDF_ISTP_KP_0249

The Global Geospace Science Program (GGS) is designed to improve greatly the understanding of the flow of energy, mass and momentum in the solar-terrestrial environment with particular emphasis on "Geospace". The Global Geospace Science Program is the US contribution to the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) Science Initiative. This CD-ROM issue describes the WIND and POLAR spacecraft, the scientific experiments carried onboard, the Theoretical and Ground Based investigations which constitute the US Global Geospace Science Program and the ISTP Data Systems which support the data acquisition and analysis effort. The International Solar-Terrestrial Physics Program (ISTP) Key Parameter Visualization Tool (KPVT), provided on the CD-ROM, was developed at the ISTP Science Planning and Operations Facility (SPOF). The KPVT is a generic software package for visualizing the key parameter data produced from all ISTP missions, interactively and simultaneously. The tool is designed to facilitate correlative displays of ISTP data from multiple spacecraft and instruments, and thus the selection of candidate events and data quality control. The software, written in IDL, includes a graphical/widget user interface, and runs on many platforms, including various UNIX workstations, Alpha/Open VMS, Macintosh (680x0 and PowerPC), and PC/Windows NT, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95.

Evaluating SAR Radiometric Terrain Correction products: Optimal products for applied users

Operational applications for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) are under development around the world, driven by the free-and-open access of SAR C-band observations that Sentinel-1 of Copernicus has been providing since 2014. Groups like SERVIR, a joint initiative between NASA and USAID, are at the forefront of remote sensing applied uses, and have made many significant contributions to lower the barrier to access, process, and apply SAR for ecosystem services. A takeaway from the SERVIR experience in using SAR is the need to use the appropriate SAR polarimetric product. Radiometric Terrain Correction (RTC) is a key entry-level product for multiple applications that range from ecosystems to hazards. Many software packages exist to create RTC products from SLC or GRD-type Level-1 SAR data, some of which were released only recently, e.g. Interferometric SAR Computing Environment (ISCE) added an RTC module in April 2020. In addition, new versions of open source softwares are expected to address known issues from previous versions, such as Sentinel-1 Toolbox from the European Space Agency (SNAP-7). Despite the growing availability of RTC software solutions, little work has been done to identify differences between RTC products from different softwares. And to address the question, which open-source software produces the most accurate RTC product? This work evaluates Sentinel-1 RTC products created with three different softwares and approaches, including SNAP-7, ISCE-2, and a pseudo RTC product derived from GEE. The GAMMA-derived RTC product, a known optimal RTC and implemented by Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF), is used as a reference. Time series stacks over ten different sites representing varied terrain and ecosystems are evaluated. Products are evaluated for geolocation quality, absolute radiometric calibration, and for the fidelity of the radiometric terrain flattening. The results provide direct guidance and recommendations about the quality of the RTC products obtained from open source methods. This understanding is key to develop operational applications that rely on SAR Sentinel-1 data that need affordable and scalable solutions.

PyXAS – an open-source package for 2D X-ray near-edge spectroscopy analysis

In the synchrotron X-ray community, X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) is a widely used technique to probe the local coordination environment and the oxidation states of specific elements within a sample. Although this technique is usually applied to bulk samples, the advent of new synchrotron sources has enabled spatially resolved versions of this technique (2D XANES). This development has been extremely powerful for the study of heterogeneous systems, which is the case for nearly all real applications. However, associated with the development of 2D XANES comes the challenge of analyzing very large volumes of data. As an example, a single 2D XANES measurement at a synchrotron can easily produce ~106 spatially resolved XANES spectra. Conventional manual analysis of an individual XANES spectrum is no longer feasible. Here, a software package is described that has been developed for high-throughput 2D XANES analysis. A detailed description of the software as well as example applications are provided.

Geometric modeling of large space antenna deployment

A dynamic visualization of large antenna deployment was created to be used as a precursor to further analysis of the structure as it is being deployed. The configuration chosen for this investigation was a box-truss structure consisting of a large reflector 60 meters wide by 120 meters long with a 120-meter mast. The entire space structure is folded and compressed into a container 17.8 meters long by 3.75 meters in diameter for transportation to orbit by the Space Transportation System (STS). A geometric model of this structure was created using an interactive solid modeling package. The building blocks of the structure are boxes and cylinders which are put together to form elements connected by joints and hinges. The elements, joints, and hinges make up the box-truss structure. The geometric model was then passed to the MOVIE.BYU software package. The "utility" module of this program was used to manipulate the elements of the structure to represent 13 different stages of deployment. The "animate" command was then used to create a smooth sequence between stages. Each step in the sequence was recorded on magnetic tape and a short movie was produced.

Design and operational features of the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope flight and ground software

The NASA Office of Space Sciences and Applications is sponsoring a series of Space Shuttle missions named Astro-n which are dedicated to a variety of astronomical projects. These missions will be the first in which the Space Shuttle crew will be interactively operating an astronomical observatory which is fixed in the payload bay. The operation of an instrument in such an environment requires a considerable amount of software both on board and on the ground. The Spacelab Experiment Computer provides generalized interactive telemetry display and command processing services through the Experiment Computer Operating System. The experimenter must then design a software package for his Dedicated Experiment Processor which can provide complete control of his instrument as well as communicate with the Experiment Computer. This paper describes the design considerations and operational features of the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope Dedicated Experiment Processor and Instrument Ground Support Equipment software.

Web-Altairis: An Internet-Enabled Ground System

This paper describes Web-Altairis, an Internet-enabled ground system software package funded by the Advanced Automation and Architectures Branch (Code 588) of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Web-Altairis supports the trend towards "lights out" ground systems, where the control center is unattended and problems are resolved by remote operators. This client/server software runs on most popular platforms and provides for remote data visualization using the rich functionality of the VisAGE toolkit. Web-Altairis also supports satellite commanding over the Internet. This paper describes the structure of Web-Altairis and VisAGE, the underlying technologies, the provisions for security, and our experiences in developing and testing the software.
