Abstract:

The concept of providing a dedicated environment for flight dynamics operations has a long history in ESOC, ESA’s operations centre, the first of these appearing in the early seventies. The relatively recent decision to move from mainframes to distributed networks of UNIX workstations has required the development of a new operations system, which can take maximum advantage of this new environment as well as taking account of the existing base of flight dynamics software. The synthesis of these requirements is ORATOS.
