2 Overview Team current status Major technical issues Some lessons learned Mitigation planning Handover planning Software licenses Other technical issues AOB ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

3 Team current status (I) Increase of D/TEC resources agreed during last SRB  The need for an additional developer was identified  D/TEC support extended with on-site user support ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

4 Team current status (II) Colin resigned in January this year  Finalising ongoing implementation efforts  Handing over activities and taking remaining leave Decision by D/SCI to move MAPPS development to ESAC  D/SCI to take over responsibility for MAPPS development  D/TEC long-term involvement limited to consultancy role  Recruitment of 2 new MAPPS developers ongoing  Handover of activities and training of new team foreseen Current MAPPS development team staffing below par  Increased involvement of Borja and Peter  Focus on urgently needed functionality ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

5 Major technical issues (I) Timeline Visualisation extensions and redesign  Extending the functionality with various new features  Major redesign foreseen using new software technology  Prototype developed, funded by D/TEC resources  Optionally available in MAPPS (alpha release) Dataset, cache, scenario and configuration data management  Redefining the way users work with MAPPS data  Linked to the Timeline Visualisation updates (interface level)  Optionally available in MAPPS (alpha release) ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

6 Major technical issues (II) Planning rules first implementation  Based on ExoMars planning requirements  Generic implementation reusable in future missions  Rules definition file format available shortly  Additional requirements could be incorporated Experiment and observation data modelling updates  Fixing a number of urgent bugs mainly for Solar Orbiter  Implementing generic data flows at experiment level  Provide similar functionality at observation level ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

7 Major technical issues (III) Observation editor (SOOP Kitchen)  Possibly linked to Timeline Visualisation update  Linked to Planning Module (opportunities and constraints) Planning Module framework  Conceptual design in cooperation with missions  Implementation of framework (see presentation part I) 3D Visualisation Display  Renderer integrated and delivered (irregular bodies, limbs)  Some minor updates and bug fixes still ongoing (D/TEC)  Setup for future missions (starting with Mars scenario) ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

8 Some lessons learned Management of large (composite) JIRA issues  Follow a dedicated “project” approach for these  Do not underestimate the total effort involved  Allocate a dedicated developer and monitor progress  Involve the user early in testing and validation Quality versus Quantity  Focus on software quality, robustness and documentation  Implement generic solutions reusable in future missions  Do not let urgent user needs impact proper software design  Do not allow prototype code in the main development ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

9 Mitigation planning (I) Borja (0.5 FTE, increase 0.2 FTE)  Generic AGM version (objects, frames)  Mission specific parser for ExoMars TGO  Documentation and testing (AGM v1) Federico (1.0 FTE, no change)  ExoMars planning rules  Urgent bug fixes  Software releases  User Support ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

10 Mitigation planning (II) Peter (0.7 FTE, increase 0.55 FTE)  Experiment and observation data modelling updates  Planning Module conceptual design  Team management (until handover completed)  CCSDS Mission Planning and Scheduling standardisation ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

11 Handover planning Peter  Training of new team members  Software design and implementation (all modules)  Handover (and possible improvements) of many topics  Software development and maintenance approach  Coding standards and developer guidelines  User and developer documentation approach  Software verification and validation approach Federico  Configuration management and bug reporting migration to ESAC  Software automated build and testing approach Borja  AGM handover and training ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016

12 Software licenses Formal role of the ESLB for any ESA software going public  Reduce the risk for any liability of ESA violating any 3 rd party licenses MAPPS is owned by ESA (IPR vested in ESA)  Current D/TEC activity getting MAPPS licenses approved  Formal code survey using the Black Duck software  Minor code changes required (ongoing)  Runtime license and source license (LGPL v3) options  ESA community license (versus Open Source license)  Same process for OpenIGS (ESA IPR, 3D visualisation library)  Approving licenses by the ESTEC LLB  D/SCI responsibility regarding software distribution  Export outside member states controlled by IPC  Many missions have cooperation agreements covering exchange of software  Approving licenses by the ESAC LLB ESA-ESTEC - “MAPPS Software Review Board” – MAPPS SRB - Part II, ESAC, Madrid, 3 rd June 2016
