The Ground Resource Allocation and Planning Environment (GRAPE 1.0) is a Web-based, collaborative team environment based on the Microsoft SharePoint platform, which provides Deep Space Network (DSN) resource planners’ tools and services for sharing information and performing analysis. The foundation platform for GRAPE provides a number of communication and data-management mechanisms, which help planners communicate scheduling issues, including document management, security schemes, calendars, wikis, blogs, lists, issue tracking, discussion forums, work-flow management, alerts/notifications, and configuration management.
