چکیده
The Mars Polar Lander (MPL) mission is the first planetary mission to w e Internet-based distributed ground operations where scientista and engineers cod labornte in daily mission operations f+om multiple geographically distributed locations via the Internet. This paper describes the operations system, the Web Interface for Telescience (WITS), which is used by the MPL mission for Internet-based operations. The MPL mission is a lander which will land near the south pole of Mars in December, 1999. WITS wall be wed for generating command sequences for the lander’s s t e m camera, robotic arm, and robotic arm camem.
