6 Crew Laptops

Network Setup

The 6 laptops will have SPIFe installed so that each crew member can record their own data

Topside computer will have SPIFe

Shared drive will have a folder structure set up

Usage Scenarios

Folder Structure Overview• We propose two primary folders on the shared

network drive• Folder crew will grab fresh schedules from

• Folder crew will drop their data to

Usage Scenarios

SPIFe Workspace Details• Two folders and current plan on top-level of project

Workspace

Usage Scenarios

Corresponding File Location• Topside and crew will have the exact same

workspace directory setup below at all times

11

Usage Scenarios

C:\spife-workspace\n14\old-plans\

C:\spife-workspace\n14\procedures\

C:\spife-workspace\n14\n14schedule_md06_v0.plan

Degraded Comm• We’re going to assume same as Normal Ops

• If crew makes any changes, they will only see it on their schedule

• Topside will not send any other versions during the day

• Need feedback in general about how Degraded Comm will work

12

Usage Scenarios

Post-NEEMO• Ames will post process all SPIFe plans to

capture the run status data for activities.

• Why capture plan every day?• 14 days to the mission, we will have at least one

copy of each plan for each day.• Daily plans permits us to do plan diffs across days

if this is desired later.

Usage Scenarios

Question to IT• What kind of file sharing system do we have? What kind of

OS? Windows Samba? FTP?

• Where is the actual location of this server? What’s the reliability of the connection, and how does this compare with how things were done previously in the past?

• It was mentioned last fall that there was a 5 Tb network storage drive. Is this same drive going to be used on the mission? Is there a problem with file size and format?

• (Adrian question) Can we have access to the crew's computers? Can we put files directly onto their Desktop or C drive, for example? This has implications to this ops concept
