Facilities Development and Operations Contract (FDOC):

• Software Configuration Management and Software Build Services for the ISS and Commercial Crew Programs.
• Supported the Mission Control Center (MCC), Astronaut Training Facilities, and User Application software development.
• Architected the next generation "MCC" using IBM BladeCenters and 10 GigaBit Ethernet solutions. We were responsible for network engineering and software architecture for the design and implementation of an emulating infrastructure representing the new JSC MCC. This next generation Control Center can best be defined as having similarities to state-of-the-art Data Centers. Taking this state-of-the-art theme one step further, J&P Technologies assisted JSC in the deployment of “Office of The Future and Collaboration Centers” solutions. Our effort focused on the deployment and integration of Wireless, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and IP Telephony, and Video technologies.

MCC Operations Support Team (OST) Automation Initiative:

• System engineering services identifying operations cost savings opportunities within the existing OST infrastructure and development of approaches and architectural enhancements to facilitate the savings.
• Specific areas analyzed for improvement included MCC scheduling, MCC activity configuration/termination, ODRC, and TDRSS scheduling.

ISS Portable Computer System (PCS)

• Technical documentation services to develop the User's Manual for the Astronaut's on-board laptops
• System engineering services to support analysis of problem reports generated against the PCS system.
