Onboard Autonomous Scheduling Intelligence System, Phase I
Status: Completed
Start Date: 2006-01-23
End Date: 2006-07-24
Description: Scheduling the daily activities of the crew on a human space mission is currently a cumbersome job performed by a large team of operations experts on the ground. This process is expensive, inflexible, and inconvenient for the crew in the spacecraft. As mission durations increase, it will become vital to give the crew more autonomy and reduce operations costs. We propose an Onboard Automated Scheduling Intelligence System (OASIS) that will automate scheduling work, giving the crew more autonomy and drastically reducing operations costs.
Benefits: Potential NASA Commercial Applications: Stottler Henke will market OASIS to the commercial space flight community. Also, in the process of implementing the proposed system we will be upgrading our generalized scheduling engine, Aurora, furthering our efforts to market Aurora to the manufacturing and supply-chain community.
