Office Name Goddard Space Flight Center 1 Proposed SCaN-Cx Interface Study Approach Dave Israel August 24, 2007

Office Name Goddard Space Flight Center 2 Study Subject Fundamental question: “Should the baseline plan for SCaN support of Cx ISS phase include a service interface to the ground stations at the link layer or network layer?” Two basic options for initial Cx support: One uses SLE, one does not. –Out of scope of this initial activity AOS/HDLC discussions Use of IP discussions LDPC Requirements are based on SCaN-Cx MOA and its referenced documents

Office Name Goddard Space Flight Center 3 Specific Trade Study Only focus on items that are different between the two options Small team –Bring in technical expertise as needed for testing, demonstrations, or review –Use existing work from other activities for starting points and work with single points of contact for more information –Maintain alignment with CNST, SCIP, SNIS, Standards, and other related activities Provide updates and receive concurrence from SCaN (J. Rush & A. Hooke) and SCIP (R. Miller & J. Hudiburg) throughout the activity

Office Name Goddard Space Flight Center 4 Deliverables and Schedule Assumptions used for study Itemized documentation of each option’s ability to meet Cx requirements Performance study results Demonstration of both options performed with GSFC CSTL and JSC Delta cost between two options –Implementation –Operations –Future expansion Documentation of role and responsibility allocation between Cx and SCaN for each option Risk Identification and mitigation strategies List of open issues Pros/Cons/Recommendations Final Report Goal: November 30, 2007

Office Name Goddard Space Flight Center 5 Next Steps Collect questions that need to be answered Collect assumptions Start forming teams/connections for different activities Define reference designs for baseline

Office Name Goddard Space Flight Center 6 Expected Subjects SLE performance impacts Security implications Service management implications Shift of Roles and Responsibilities Implementation costs Operations costs Future upgrade costs Interoperability considerations Demonstrations and tests including data flows with JSC

Office Name Goddard Space Flight Center 7 Discussion Questions Is this an acceptable course of action? What are the schedule drivers?
