GROUND INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Launch Site Management System (LSMS) is a software application that monitors and controls the ground infrastructure of the Coastal Launch and its operations. It includes elements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to pre-process telemetry data and present them in a humanly understandable visual scope as the colour-coded display of the state of the system, sub-systems, and their components, down to individual devices.
LSMS relies on the Cosmovision Global's proprietary M2C software architecture technology and was implemented using the company's VisCMSE software development suite. Applications of VisCMSE are not limited to the Spaceport only.
The system handles the following tasks:
- Monitoring of facilities and system conditions (e.g. operational, needs maintenance, dysfunctional, etc.);
- Keeping track records of maintenance operations;
- Keeping records of facility and launch site access;
- Automatic reporting of malfunctions and accidents;
- Automatic notification to 3rd parties about accidents;
- Automatic generation of daily operational reports;
- Automatic archival of the operations data.
LSMS is developed by the Cosmovision Global Corporation for the Linux environment and is written in the Java-2 programming language.
Reduced functionality live web interface of a fragment of LSMS can be reviewed here. The full system will have wireless access to all of the LS buildings for downloading sensor readings. The completed LSMS will have no internet access and will not be using any office software.
Under normal operational conditions, it will generate a daily report in text format, automatically archive it, and push the copy to the Launch Site Documentation System (LSDC) through a dedicated fibre optics link.
In a case of an accident, notifications are pushed in the same way.
