Phillips) Subject: 3 Feb 95 Weekly Report X-Mailer:To KidSat Team, UCSD KidSat Weekly Report for Week Ending 3 Feb 95 This is the first KidSat Weekly Report for the University of California, San Diego Mission Control Gateway element of the KidSat program. The format will be a moving target for the first few iterations. The intent is to highlight major events with enough information to provide a contact for some more details. We are open to your format comments. UCSD Organization Structure KidStat mission control gateway is a student lead project operated with oversight from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) faculty, staff and mentors in capacity of project advisors. Clifton Phillips, a graduate from our system science program was appointed project manager. Dirck Schilling, a graduate student from our aerospace engineering program was appointed assistant project manager. Both of these individuals have industry and government experience with a variety of projects. The UCSD responsibilities of the KidSat project has been organized into four functional groups. A student manager from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) student body was assigned to each area. The four groups are (1) KidSat Mission Control Gateway Team lead by Michael Baine, a graduate student from our physics department; (2) Scientific Visualization Team, lead by Jennifer Stevens, an undergraduate student working with JPL on Visualization work for the last two years; a (3) Software Team, lead by Jesse Keller, an undergraduate student from our computer science department; and (4) the Payload Data Interface Team, lead by Steve Carnes, a graduate student from our electrical engineering department. The KidSat student management team has defined a four element charter. 1. Strategic planning and coordination 2. Provide an environment to meet mission goals and objectives 3. Support all team members 4. Performance control It is our intention that these four groups matrix themselves into the required tasks to realize the KidSat mission control gateway at UCSD. We are identifying a detailed process flow to help identify all the nonrecurring and recurring tasks. We also have an infrastructure element for the environment where KidSat mission control gateway will be realized. The infrastructure team is lead by Dan Cunningham, a graduate student from our aerospace engineering department. The infrastructure team is chartered with providing and maintaining the tools required to realize this project at UCSD. The infrastructure team is also responsible for the Mission control gateway facility modifications. As a result of the infrastructure teams effort, our entire team at UCSD is united and tightly coupled electronically. Industrial Partners and Mentors One element of our operating strategy is to include industry partners and mentors for this project. Three student field trips were taken. Field trips were to Loral Instrumentation in San Diego, Rockwell International in Downey California, and Integrated Space Systems (ISS) in San Diego. ISS is a newly formed company consisting of entrepreneurs and aerospace experts from a spectrum of space delivery system programs in government and industry. Loral Instrumentation provided NASA/JSC with key mission control center components. Loral Instrumentation also provided major flight test components for telemetry systems on other aerospace projects in San Diego. Rockwell International has a mission support center currently used for [[Footer]] Printed for lkenney@ucsd.edu (Lynne A. Kenney) 1 [[/Footer]]
