In-Situ Mosaic Production at JPL/MIPL

Multimission Image Processing Lab (MIPL) at JPL is responsible for (among other things) the ground-based operational image processing of all the recent in-situ Mars missions: (1) Mars Pathfinder (2) Mars Polar Lander (3) Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) (4) Phoenix (5) Mars Science Lab (MSL) Mosaics are probably the most visible products from MIPL (1) Generated for virtually every rover position at which a panorama is taken (2) Provide better environmental context than single images (3) Valuable to operations and science personnel (4) Arguably the signature products for public engagement

Terrain Generation from Stereo Imagery in the JPL/MIPL Pipeline

Multimission Image Processing Lab (MIPL) at JPL is responsible for (among other things) the ground-based operational image processing of all the recent in-situ Mars missions. Terrains and meshes are probably the most important products from MIPL for in-situ operations

Software Reuse in the Planetary Context: The JPL/MIPL Mars Program Suite

Reuse greatly reduces development costs. Savings can be invested in new/improved capabilities Or returned to sponsor Worth the extra time to "do it right" Operator training greatly reduced. MIPL MER personnel can step into MSL easily because the programs are familiar. Application programs much easier to write. Can assume core capabilities exist already.

Engineering Analysis Subsystem Environment for Spacecraft Engineering Subsystem Mission Operations

The Engineering Analysis Subsystem Environment (EASE) prototype is a collection of computer programs on networked workstations providing a multimission, multisubsystem environment that enables the operation of several spacecraft simultaneously with fewer analysts. Through the use of automated tools, graphical data visualization and information management, EASE has achieved an increase in mission operations productivity. Recently, a database, a trending tool, and a power sequence expansion tool have been added to EASE. This paper discusses these enhancements and provides an update of the operation experience with the realtime Galileo telemetry data.

High Speed Simulator - A Simulator for All Seasons

This paper will discuss the evolution of the Multimission Ground Systems Office's (MGSO) High Speed Spacecraft Simulator (HSS) development at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This paper will examine the evolution from both a development and operations perspective. The HSS in reality is a series of simulators capable of modeling the spacecraft and its subsystems at either the bit or functional level, depending on specific mission needs.

IV. Air-breathing propulsion systems for supersonic aircraft

In this part, the state of the art for several propulsion system components is reviewed, and some of the important factors which must be considered during the design of a supersonic propulsion system are pointed out. The discussion will be centered around the Mach number 3 cruise airplane of part III and the multimission airplane of part II.
