MSSAI-Multi-national Space Situation Awareness Interface

Our Multi-national Space Situational Awareness Interface (MSSAI) program builds on our experience developing the Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) Mission System (JMS) User-Definable Operational Picture (UDOP), and will reuse large amounts of the technology. This will enable the development of a preliminary prototype to prove the feasibility of key supplementary technologies. Key new technology areas we have identified from our JMS experience and research for this effort include methods for international data sharing and data security. MSSAI will address issues of (1) human-computer interface differences, (2) multi-level security, (3) cultural differences, (4) language and terminology, (5) working and learning environment differences and preferences, and (6) command structure differences and preferences.
