Air Traffic Management TestBed: Non-Java Programming Language Support

The Air Traffic Management (ATM) TestBed provides a simple and easy capability to connect high-fidelity simulations for supporting National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and community research. Simulation components are connected to the TestBed via plugin adapters which can be publishers, subscribers, or both. Though the plugin adapters are written in Java programming language, connectivity between TestBed and non-Java applications are supported. This document describes procedures to access the TestBed data exchange messages using external applications such as MATLAB and web browsers, as well as non-Java programming language such as C, Python, and JavaScript. Example simulation layouts are presented. Step-by-step instructions to run adapters, and to connect to the external tools are also provided.

Improving Access to the GEOS Composition Forecast Model with API Development and Ingestion into Google Earth Engine

The GEOS Composition Forecast (GEOS-CF) model produces forecast and historical estimates of atmospheric composition and meteorology fields, which provide useful insight into air quality issues and events. In a year for which Canadian wildfires created adverse air quality conditions in the eastern United States, access to model fields such as PM2.5 are in high demand. The GEOS-CF team at the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) first developed in-house solutions to improve data access via the CF API, and recently partnered with Google to ingest a collated set of model diagnostics into the Google Earth Engine (GEE) data repository. GEOS-CF model output is also being ingested into AWS storage. Creating these various open access points to GEOS-CF model diagnostics provides the public with an opportunity to easily interact with air quality information. Users are able to use a temporally consistent global grid of air quality fields in machine learning applications, mapping tools, and data informatics. Hosting GEOS-CF forecasts and the historical timeseries of these chemistry and meteorology fields in GEE allows users to create dynamic JavaScript-based air quality applications in the GEE code editor. GEOS-CF users can also access the model output via the GEE Python application programming interface (API), making it easy to perform various analyses with Python. This presentation will show two examples of accessing the GEOS-CF model through GEE. The first is an example application made in the GEE code editor which allows users to view time series plots and downscaled maps of surface level NO2. The second example exhibits using the GEE Python API to create a machine learning model to temporally gap-fill between air quality observations. These examples are an introduction to the many possible benefits of having open access to the GEOS-CF model through multiple platforms.

MagicDraw Report Generation for the Resource Prospector Payload

Magic Draw is a tool currently being used by System Engineers to design model-based representations of the Resource Prospector (RP) Payload. Often, reports are needed to display and communicate the information and schematics within the MagicDraw model. Since constant changes are being made to the model, these reports also need to be maintained with each change. Because this is tedious and time consuming, I was assigned to implement MagicDraw Report Wizard Templates using Velocity Template Language (VTL) scripts. These report template scripts pull specific images, data, and elements directly from the MagicDraw model, allowing the user to have a report that is updated with the current state of the model upon its generation.

HYPERS Software Development

Providing software support for HYPERS and creating internal tools. NASA has a long and decorated history of spaceflight innovation and achievements. The next great endeavor is NASA’s Journey to Mars, which will be achieved with the Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion capsule. Developing and testing these systems is no easy feat. Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) tools do not always provide enough functionality for engineers to do their job efficiently, making internal custom-made tools is necessary to meet the expected launch date. The purpose of this internship was to provide software support to the Storable Propellants and Hydraulic Systems Branch, specifically the Hypergolics Software (HYPERS) team. This included developing tools to parse unique measurements from the vehicle into the format specified by the HYPERS team. Displays were also created per requirements. Another major component of this internship was to create an intuitive interactive offline graphing application. The current tool for plotting vehicle data does not have all the functionality and features that HYPERS would like. By inputting a vehicle data file, the application plots the data based on the time range and components the user would like to view. After the graph is generated, the user is able to zoom in, pan horizontally, add comments, hover over data points, and take a snapshot of the current state of the graph. These additional features will help engineers quickly investigate the relationship between vehicle components through data visualization.

Computer Programming Resources 2018

The document is a compilation of Computer Programming resources. It is geared toward front-end and back-end web development. It specializes on an ongoing project to create a website for the Safety and Mission Assurance Directorate. The Quality Assurance System (QAS) is intended to improve the overall quality and efficiency of communication among NASA Quality Assurance Engineers and Contractors. The use of QAS software will be limited to NASA Kennedy Space Center and Contractors. It is accessible through the KSC network.

Developing a Sustainable, User-Friendly Literature Database to Support the Microgravity Simulation Support Facility (MSSF) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC)

Established in 2017, the Microgravity Simulation Support Facility (MSSF) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is the only centralized, dedicated facility supporting ground microgravity research in the United States. The MSSF offers the research community the ability to conduct simulated microgravity research with experimental conditions functionally resembling those aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and in other flight-based experimental environments. Since its inception, the MSSF has supported numerous studies and has since collected an extensive library of relevant and pertinent literature. The goal of our research was to develop and implement a sustainable, user-friendly literature database to better house this literature at the MSSF. To achieve this, our team focused on sorting, optimizing, and analyzing preexisting literature libraries to determine a best suitable and sustainable platform for the MSSF. After establishing initial database platforms, the team worked to develop descriptive and structural metadata categories to best sort the literature, which was followed by rigorous testing and optimization of the database as it was implemented. The MSSF has now been outfitted with a reliable, accessible database that effectively houses literature and provides diverse analysis to the user. Our team is continuing to test and update our platform and parameters as we aim for the formal implementation, expansion, and evolution of our database to better sustain future research ventures at the MSSF and beyond.

Visualization and Analysis of Near Real-Time Global Cloud Composites (GCC): Integration in a Geospatial Web Mapping Application

The NASA Langley Satellite ClOud and Radiation Property retrieval System (SatCORPS) team provides tools for retrieving cloud information from operational and research meteorological imager data. LEO and GEO satellite imagers are used for fusing hourly mosaics which create the Global Cloud Composite (GCC). The GCC provides global cloud products with a low latency which can help satisfy the growing needs of the research, modeling and business communities. The Esri ArcGIS system is used to transform the GCC data into Analysis Ready Data (ARD) which can be utilized for a variety of visualization and analysis activities in support of weather diagnoses/forecasting, Earth Sciences remote sensing applications, and disaster management. Additionally, the data is enabled as ArcGIS Image Services and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Mapping/Coverage Services to be consumed via API within a web mapping application. We will present a preview of the new interactive SatCORPS GCC web mapping application and its capabilities in allowing users to access and use GIS data within it.
