SOLM 1.0 FTF Avatar
  1. OMG Issue

SOLM — This is not focused on Spacecrafts but on Earth Satellites

  • Key: SOLM-8
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16259
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Hugues Vincent)
  • Summary:

    The title of the spec as well as the introduction of it (section 1.1...) make the reader think that this spec is about all known and future spacecrafts while it's about Earth Satellites as proved by, e.g., the use of UTC time.
    The introduciton needs clearly to state this and the name of the spec should be changed - earth Satellite Operations Language Metamodel (eSOLM)? -.

  • Disposition: Resolved — SOLM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Rename Spacecraft Operations Language Metamodel to Satellite Operations
    Language Metamodel. Occurrences corrected on Title page, document footer,
    and Glossary (p 4).
    On page 1 introduction replace first paragraph:
    This specification defines a meta-model, Spacecraft Operations Language Meta-model (SOLM), for
    representing spacecraft operations procedures. These procedures contain sequences of instructions to
    conduct spacecraft operations, typically consisting of spacecraft commands and spacecraft telemetry
    comparisons. These procedures may also include the configuration of ground equipment, configuration of
    spacecraft test equipment, execution of ground testing, and execution of on-orbit testing. Historically, these
    procedures have been captured in flowcharts, text manuals, and a number of different scripting languages
    used for ground station automation. A standard meta-model to represent spacecraft operations procedures
    will facilitate the transfer of procedures between the spacecraft vendor and the spacecraft operator, as well
    as allow for maintenance and transfer of the procedures across different ground systems employed over the
    lifetime of the spacecraft.

    This specification is primarily aimed at providing procedure portability for earth-orbiting satellites. While
    deep-space spacecraft use similar operational procedures, they also use extensive on-board procedures and
    there are significant considerations in the representation of time that are not incorporated in this metamodel.
