Extending long-term visual satellite health monitoring beyond telemetry

Kurzfassung

The Mission Operations Technology group supplies the German Space Operations Center (GSOC)s spacecraft engineers with a suite of tools for data analysis and visualization. Central to this environment is ViDA, a modern, high-performance, web-based, front-end that visualizes long-term satellite telemetry data. Supporting ViDA are MiDA and JupyterHub, tools for programmatic access to the telemetry data underlying the visualizations. This stack is actively used across multiple satellite missions at GSOC.This talk will first outline the current modular architecture of ViDA and its supporting tools. It will then motivate why extending visual satellite health monitoring to include data from operational products may help determine the causes for behaviors in the telemetry. Building on this, the current progress on incorporating telecommand log data into ViDA will be discussed, thereby enriching telemetry visualizations with command context. Finally, an outlook on the planned integration of other operational product data into ViDA will be given.
