Superior Flexibility for the Control Room Workplace

Kurzfassung

Traditionally, the setup for control rooms is based on well-established techniques and the application of technical innovations is typically avoided except for such cases where special features are needed. This leads to very stable and reliable systems which of course is very beneficial for operations. However, these conventional systems have a significant disadvantage. Their flexibility is highly limited due to several existing dependencies like the strict assignment of the O/S to certain hardware. Therefore, reorganization for another satellite mission is very complicated and time-consuming. At GSOC, investigations have been carried out concerning the question of how modern IT solutions could be used in order to establish much more flexible systems in the control rooms. As a result, it will be possible to support an increasing number of concurrent missions in the future.
