"Constellation
Computing and Communications Architecture"
The
United States is in the act of extending human presence across the solar
system, starting with human return to the Moon and continuing with human
exploration of Mars and other destinations. Manned bases, robotic and
manned rovers, satellites, and of course space vehicles with astronauts riding
between the planets are all envisioned. Each of these must be able to communicate:
with control centers on the Earth, with cooperating systems in space, and
perhaps even with an astronaut's family members at home. This creates an
unprecedented demand for interplanetary information systems, which must
continue to operate over many decades of technical change. Come and see
how the Computing Systems Interoperability group in NASA's Constellation
Program is planning to meet this challenge -- without emptying
Jay
Breidenthal is the Systems Engineering Lead for Computing Systems
Interoperability in the JPL Exploration Systems Engineering Office, NASA
Constellation Program. He specializes in systems engineering management of
mixed-technology communications, navigation, and information systems. He was
recently the End-to-End Information System engineer for the Mars Telecom
Orbiter, following a long stint as a system architect for NASA's Deep Space
Network. During his 29 years at JPL he has served as engineer, lecturer,
author, and consultant in many areas ranging from electronics to mission
operations, and is a recipient of the NASA Space Operations Excellence
award. Jay has a B.S. in Physics from U.C. Berkeley and an M.S. in
Astrophysics from MIT.
