Goddard Mission Services Evolution Center “GMSEC” Overview

In today's changing satellite mission operations landscape, the need for mission automation and interoperability while containing costs is more important than ever. Enter GMSEC – a flexible and extendible set of software automation tools designed to automate repetitive processes and off-hours alerting, among others. GMSEC is also an API that is open source and supports the OMG C2MS message specification, allowing dissimilar components to communicate with each other.

Attendees will learn about the possible use cases for automation that the GMSEC architecture and suite of components enable. The presentation will provide an overview of specific GMSEC software products that provide these automation features such as the GMSEC Generic Extendible Message Utility (GEMU) that enables automation, and GMSEC Services Suite OpenMCT (GSS) that offers enhanced telemetry visualization.

This presentation will outline how GMSEC can enable and enhance mission operations automation, enabling efficiencies that can help bring down costs.
