The Uplink Summary Generator (ULSGEN) provides a convenient means of gathering together a set of uplink related files, parsing and analyzing these files, and producing a summary of their contents, which may then be electronically signed by one or more reviewers to verify the commands. Spacecraft operations personnel view this summary as a final sanity check before actual radiation of the uplink data.

Unique features of the software are a browser-based application that can be used both inside and outside the flight operations firewall, file retrieval from the project file server or from the project DOM (Distributed Object Manager), and the ability to parse and analyze spacecraft command files (SCMF). The software also features DSN keyword file (DKF) parsing for uplink windows, and enables hosting of one or more projects in a single server. Each project can define its own uplink summary template.

Each uplink summary is generated based on the analysis results from the parsers and the selected project template. The uplink summary review and signature collection cycle supports both parallel and sequential workflows. RadList file generation enables linkage to the command system.

This work was done by Yeou-Fang Wang, Mitchell Schrock, Timothy J. Reeve, Kristine T. Fong, and Benjamin D. Smith of Caltech for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
