Adding Web 2.0 features to a Fleet Monitoring Dashboard
Robert Foweraker, Christian Kumpf · SpaceOps 2010 Conference · 2010
MakaluMedia GmbH have developed a Fleet Monitoring web application for EUTELSAT S.A. called TeleViews. The satellite control engineers use TeleViews to access operational data, generated by the Mission Control System, from their own offices. In this paper we examine the reasons for creating systems like TeleViews and the reason why we chose to implement the system as a web application. We have been able to integrate several web 2.0 technologies and concepts into TeleViews in order to improve the usability of the system. We attempt to explain these concepts and describe how these web 2.0 technologies have been used in the development of TeleViews. We look briefly at the overall system architecture and discuss aspects of data visualisation, user collaboration and interoperability.
