Despite widespread policy support and increasingly sophisticated measurement tools, the evaluation of human factors issues within operational test and evaluation (OT&E) continues to lag behind the evaluation of other system elements. This situation can be traced, in part, to difficulties in integrating human factors findings with system performance measures. The present paper discusses one approach to this problem that is being implemented in the OT&E of the Consolidated Space Operations Center (CSOC).

Everyday, in both the workplace and the home, we see evidence of how human engineering has advanced software technologies. The advances in computer software were enabled through the application of standardized methodologies grounded in sound systems engineering. It is increasingly apparent that these methodologies have applications to domains other than Human Computer Interface (HCl) development. Specifically, the design of collaborative work environments benefits greatly from the application of human engineering processes. The Tactical Information GUI Engineering & Requirements Specification (TIGERS) methodology was developed to define, articulate, and integrate user requirements into tactical computer interface design (Wallace, Dawson, & Blaylock, 1995). This proven human engineering methodology has been applied to the redesign of the Naval Space Operations Center (NAVSPOC) at the Naval Space Command, in Dahlgren, Virginia (Wallace, Bohan, & White, 1996). This paper discusses the successful application of this human engineering method to the operations center domain.

Looking Back

Completed in 2009, the European Proximity Operations Simulator 2.0 (EPOS 2.0) succeeded EPOS 1.0 at the German Space Operations Center (GSOC). One of the many contributions the old EPOS 1.0 facility made to spaceflight rendezvous is the verification of the Jena-Optronik laser-based sensors used by the Automated Transfer Vehicle. While EPOS 2.0 builds upon its heritage, it is a completely new design aiming at considerably more complex rendezvous scenarios. During the last ten years, GSOC’s On-Orbit-Servicing & Autonomy group, who operates, maintains and evolves EPOS 2.0, has made numerous contributions to the field of uncooperative rendezvous, using EPOS as its primary tool. After general research in optical navigation in the early 2010s, the OOS group took a leading role in the DLR project “On-Orbit-Servicing End-to-End Simulation” in 2014. EPOS 2.0 served as the hardware in the loop simulator of the rendezvous phase and contributed substantially to the project’s remarkable success. Over the years, E2E has revealed demanding requirements, leading to numerous facility improvements and extensions. In addition to the OOS group’s research work, numerous and diverse open-loop test campaigns for industry and internal (DLR) customers have shaped the capabilities of EPOS 2.0 significantly.
