A Method for Building Spacecraft Operation Products

Abstract

We have been investigating a method to accomplish critical operations efficiently and accurately for future spacecraft such as HTV. We are now developing a framework for maintaining operation flow diagrams and operation procedures based on the generation of source descriptions for operating procedures. This framework aims at not only reducing the time and effort required to develop such information, but also acquiring quality and consistency between the diagrams and the procedures. This paper describes the system used to configure the description built on the framework and the effectiveness of the method by applying the system to the spacecraft mission operations.
