Patent ID: 7428405

Claim:
An automatic operation system (AOS) for automating satellite mission control, comprising: a mission timeline receiving means for receiving a mission timeline; an operation procedure editing means for authoring an operation procedure script for remotely controlling subsystems based on a process state of a software module of each subsystem for satellite operation by being informed from the mission timeline receiving means that the mission timeline is received and inquiring into an automatic operation procedure script database; an operation procedure analyzing and code transforming means for analyzing an automatic operation procedure of the operation procedure script and transforming the automatic operation procedure and telecommands into execution codes based on a telecommand database; an operation procedure executing means for transmitting automatic control commands to subsystems and remotely operating the automatic control commands based on time and execution conditions specified in the automatic operation procedure which is transformed into the execution codes; a subsystem process state monitoring means for monitoring the process state of a software module of a subsystem to be controlled based on the automatic operation procedure, providing information related to selection of the subsystem that can be used for automatic control to the operation procedure editing means, collecting state information on the state of the automatic operation procedure executed in software modules of the subsystems, and providing the state information to the operation procedure executing means; and an access managing means for providing interface with each of the subsystems.
