NASA MSFC Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 2 Completed Tasks  SGANT-2 installed on 2J/A  Redundant Ku receiver  APS install occurred September 2 nd  No issues at activation  Minor sync issues have been discovered in 4 months of operations  Mod Kits launched on ULF-7 which include cables for ODAR

NASA MSFC Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 3 Upcoming Changes  Video After ICU Install  The ICU install is going to change video distribution to all users  The extent of the change is currently being worked out  A more complete story will be put together at the next POIWG  DFP Viewer  Due to the complexity of the planning system, DMCs will be moving to a software based DFP  If users are currently using a paper DFP, the DMC team is looking to phase that out  Non-ODAR Change  New HD camera system being developed and will be deployed at TBD  LAN-based encoders (OCA)  The ops concept for this system has not been developed yet

NASA MSFC Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 6 Current Data System Constraints  8 HRDL Channels  7 reserved for specific users  1 shared by IPU, MPC, CIR, etc.  150 Mbps Ku Band Downlink  Mbps reserved for specific users  26.5 Mbps shared by shared HRDL users, higher quality video, higher data rate COL HRM and AMS  8 Mbps PEHG Gateway Limit  Scheduling a second PEHG-GW requires a HRDL channel

It can also packetize bitstream data. APS only routes signals HRM JAXA’s upgrade to PEHG-J

NASA MSFC Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 8 Phase 1 ODAR enhancements to Onboard Data and Video System New or Modified ORUs:  Modify the Automated Payload Switch (APS)  Replace:  Controller and Switch Card  Replace the power supply  Improvements:  Aggregation of multiple input data streams into a single output data stream – eliminating the 8 channel HRDL bottleneck.  Provide increased Health and Status from the ORU, including actual measured data rates from each input  Provide Dark Fiber Detection  Automatically disconnects any routes that have a dark fiber condition caused by an upstream source Tx shutdown

NASA MSFC Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 9 Phase 1 ODAR enhancements to Onboard Data and Video System iAPS Install  On-orbit installation to be performed late August 2011, possible slip to late Sept 2011  Plan is to leave one APS powered for Ku downlink while the other is upgraded  This will cut the number of available HRDL channels down to Four (4) during the crew upgrade operations  No plan as of yet which APS will be first  Will assess per APS usage just prior to work in order to minimize the impacts to operations  Newly installed iAPS will go through initialization and checkout  Will be operating in a mixed fleet mode during this time  We will hold this configuration for a short time (worst case is “days”)  At the end of the checkout, any necessary swaps will occur (PLMDM, PEHG) to configure to the iAPS and the other APS will be removed and upgraded  More than Four (4) downlinks will be available during this time as the iAPS will be capable of muxing inputs

NASA MSFC Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 10 Post-iAPS Installation Data System Constraints  150 Mbps Ku Band Downlink  Mbps reserved for specific users  26.5 Mbps shared by shared HRDL users, higher quality video, higher data rate COL HRM and AMS  Constraint relieved with installation of the ICU in July 2012 – 300 Mbps Ku Band downlink  8 Mbps PEHG Gateway Limit  Scheduling a second PEHG-GW requires a HRDL channel  Constraint relieved with installation of iPEHGs in Nov 2011 – 100 Mbps gateway

NASA MSFC Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 12 Additional ODAR enhancements New or Modified ORUs:  Replace the Payload Ethernet Hub Gateway (PEHG) with a 100BaseT Ethernet switch – eliminating the 8 Mbps MRDL bottleneck  Replace the following ORUs with the Integrated Communications Unit (ICU) –Video Baseband Signal Processor (VBSP) –High-rate Communications Outage Recorder (HCOR) –High Rate Frame Multiplexer (HRFM) –High Rate Modem (HRM) –Ku-Band Forward Link Receiver –Video Tape Recorders (VTRs) –OCA Router

NASA MSFC Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 13 Additional ODAR enhancements ICU Capabilities:  Provide the applicable functional capabilities of the ORUs it replaces  Support 300 Mbps and 25 Mbps data rates on the return and forward links, respectively  Provide interfaces to the audio system for audio embedded in digital video encoding and two-way audio communications  Provide up to 8 hours of video recording (digital)  Provide simultaneous record and playback  Support operations in a contingency critical command, audio, and telemetry mode  Provide multiple user access to the Ku-band forward link
