Telemetry monitoring is a limited resource. This quality improvement project describes a nurse-managed telemetry discontinuation protocol aimed at stopping telemetry monitoring when it is no longer indicated. After implementing the protocol, data were collected for 6 months and compared with a preintervention time frame. There was a mean decrease in telemetry monitor usage and a decreased likel...

In spacecraft telemetry expert systems technology i s being used to manage the complexity generated by the increasing number of complex measurands. However, an uncontrolled proliferation of rules in an expert system can lead to maintenance and management problems of the system. A semi-automated tool, such as Pragati's MVP-CA (Multi-ViewPoint Clustering Analysis) tool, can provide a valuable aid...

This paper describes the approach taken by the ION-F student team in designing a common Command and Data Handling (C&DH) subsystem for three different nanosatellites. It outlines the requirements of the satellites and reasons behind the decision to develop a custom board. The design is based upon industrial-grade components and centered on a Hitachi SuperH RISC Processor. The C&DH subsystem con...

American woodcock Scolopax minor (hereafter woodcock) migration ecology is poorly understood, but has implications for population and management, especially related to harvest. To describe patterns phenology, we captured equipped 73 with satellite tracking devices in the Central Management Region (analogous Mississippi Flyway) of North America documented paths 60 individual 87 autumn or spring ...

After a decade of successful TanDEM-X mission operations, the degradation satellite's battery capacity due to ageing has defined new challenge for DLRs operations team. In response, novel machine learning strategy been gradually deployed in Mission Planning System order optimize utilization. The objective this is twofold: 1) protecting operational state while 2) maximizing executed SAR acquisit...
