SSRC Seminar: Alexandra Holloway
Alexandra Holloway will present:
Designing for situation awareness and operator control with large data
volumes in NASA's Deep Space Network
Abstract:
The Deep Space Network (DSN) provides continuous coverage, including
data and control support, for most of the world's space missions. As
spacecraft talk to the DSN antennas, on-site link control operators
maneuver the high-performance equipment, monitor the thousands of
signals, and troubleshoot anomalies. Currently, the practice is for
an operator to support one or two links at a time. In this talk, we
investigate what it would mean for an operator to monitor more than
two simultaneous links while obtaining and maintaining a high level of
situation awareness without increasing perceived workload. We present
in-progress user-centered design for situation awareness, including
goal-oriented task analysis techniques and results, and discuss
current and upcoming evaluation methods with link control operators.
