Tombaugh Science Operations Center Primary
functions

• Pre-launch operations
• Support Integration and Test
• Verify SOC operations
• Supply request files to MOC for mission
  simulations
• Instrument flight operations planning
• Supply merged deconflicted request files to MOC
  for instrument operations
• Pipeline data processing
• Receive telemetry from MOC, produce uncalibrated
  images, spectra, and timeseries (level 1b data)
• Archiving
• Source of telemetry for Science Team
• Source of level 1b data for Science Team, EPO,
  PDS

Science Operations Center Design Details

• Operations Planning (TSOC)
• Sun Blade 2000 (MOC compatible)
• SEQGEN, SEQADAPT programs for planning
• Data Analysis (TSOC, CSOC)
• PC/Linux dual boot machines
• Open-source tools preferred for data analysis
• Produce level 1b data uncalibrated images,
  spectra, and timeseries, together with ancillary
  data (quality flags, timing)
• Distribution and Archive (TSOC)
• PC/Linux dual boot machines
• Level 1b FITS images, cubes, or tables with
  automatically-generated detached PDS headers
  archived to PDS small-bodies node

• Approved before CDR
• SOC designers notebook
• Draft by PDR
• Final before CDR
• SOC users guide
• Draft during Phase C implementation
• Sections added and updated as needed.

Science Operations Center Risk Identification
and Mitigation

• Primary risk
• Long-term maintainability
• Mitigation
• Obtain long-term hardware and software
  maintenance contracts
• Plan migration of data storage media types
• Document pipeline processing algorithms
• Preserve pedigree of all archived files
• Avoid proprietary data formats
• Formal internal reviews of users manuals, logs,
  and other documentation
