| Description | This internship provided an opportunity for an intern to work with NASA's Ground Support Equipment (GSE) for the Spaceport Command and Control System (SCCS) at Kennedy Space Center as a remote display developer, under NASA mentor Kurt Leucht. The main focus was on creating remote displays for the hypergolic and high pressure helium subsystem team to help control the filling of the respective tanks. As a remote display developer for the GSE hypergolic and high pressure helium subsystem team the intern was responsible for creating and testing graphical remote displays to be used in the Launch Control Center (LCC) on the Firing Room's computer monitors. To become more familiar with the subsystem, the individual attended multiple project meetings and acquired their specific requirements regarding what needed to be included in the remote displays. After receiving the requirements, the next step was to create a display that had both visual appeal and logical order using the Display Editor, on the Virtual Machine (VM). In doing so, all Compact Unique Identifiers (CUI), which are associated with specific components within the subsystem, will need to be included in each respective display for the system to run properly. Then, once the display was created it needed to be tested to ensure that the display runs as intended by using the Test Driver, also found on the VM. This Test Driver is a specific application that checks to make sure all the CUIs in the display are running properly and returning the correct form of information. After creating and locally testing the display it will need to go through further testing and evaluation before deemed suitable for actual use. By the end of the semester long experience at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the individual should have gained great knowledge and experience in various areas of display development and testing. They were able to demonstrate this new knowledge obtained by creating multiple successful remote displays that will one day be used by the hypergolic and high pressure helium subsystem team in one of the LCC's firing rooms to fill the new Orion spacecraft. |
