Monitoring and Diagnostic System for AKARI and HINODE Trans. JSASS Space Tech. Japan Vol. 7, No. ists26, pp. Tf_1-Tf_6, 2009 ISACS-DOC: Monitoring and Diagnostic System for AKARI and HINODE By Mitsue MIZUTANI1), Toshinori HIROSE2), Ryoji TAKAKI3) and Hideyuki HONDA3) 1)Solution Planning Dept., Fujitsu Advanced Solutions Limited, Yokohama Japan; 2)Science Solutions Div., Fujitsu Limited, Chiba Japan; 3)Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Sagamihara Japan (Received May 8th, 2008) ISACS-DOC (Intelligent Satellite Control Software-DOCtor), which is an automatic monitoring and diagnostic system for scientific satellites or spacecraft, aims to rapidly and accurately capture important changes and sign of anomaly during daily satellite operations. After three systems for deep space missions, the new generation of ISACS-DOC with a higher speed processing performance had been developed for the satellites in earth orbit, AKARI and HINODE. This paper reports on the newest ISACS-DOC about enhanced functions, operating status, and an approach to create standards to build and keep up the knowledge data base. Continuous enhancements through the actual operations are the advantage of ISACS-DOC. Key Words: monitoring-and-diagnosing, knowledge-base, satellite, safe-operation, cost-reduction 1. Introduction sample-return probe HAYABUSA (launched in 2003). ISACS-DOC is independent from any other existing In order to satisfy the high-grade observation satellite operation systems and has high flexibility to add requirements of a scientific satellite, the onboard and new functions and monitoring methods, so it acts as a ground operation systems are becoming more complicated pilot system to improve satellite operation systems. The and elaborate. For this reason there is a real need to monitoring and diagnostic techniques verified by this ensure accurate and safe satellite operations. Since 1992 system will contribute to the continuous improvement of Institute of Space and Astronautical Science of Japan satellite operational technologies through their Aerospace Exploration Agency (ISAS/JAXA) has been incorporation into future satellite control systems. conducting research and development on a ground system The next-generation of ISACS-DOC with a higher for monitoring and diagnosing the status of satellites. At processing performance has been developed (4) and put the beginning of the research and development of the into operation for AKARI (ASTRO-F) since it launched in system, no similar systems which diagnose a whole 2006. Infrared Imaging Surveyor AKARI is in a satellite in practical use could be found in Japan and any low-altitude earth orbit and different in various aspects other countries. This system is called Intelligent Satellite from the deep space probes targeted by the past Control Software-DOCtor (ISACS-DOC) (1, 2, 3). ISACS-DOC systems. The greatest difference in terms of The purposes of ISACS-DOC are to accurately grasp ISACS-DOC for AKARI is the requirement for signs of serious change and abnormality of any onboard high-speed data processing. The short visible time (deep system during regular operation without the need of space spacecraft HAYABUSA: 8 hours, AKARI: 10 experts in the satellite control room, to issue an alert on a min/path and 4 paths/day) and high-rate downlink data display or send out an e-mail, to enhance the safety of transfer (HAYABUSA: 16 Kbps, AKARI: 4 Mbps) means satellite operations, and consequently to reduce that a large volume of data needs to be processed in a operational costs. ISACS-DOC can be positioned as a short period of time. Moreover, it is preferable to process system which supports monitoring by an operator in both real and reproduced telemetry data at the same time. regular operation and diagnosis by an expert in abnormal For high-speed data processing, the processing operation. If the cause of an incident or irregularity can be performance of ISACS-DOC for AKARI is enhanced by identified with a high degree of reliability, the system conducting optimization of data processing procedures. should serve up diagnostic results and solutions. However, The newest ISACS-DOC has been developed for if the cause cannot be identified from detected signs, it is HINODE (SOLAR-B) based on the system for AKARI. preferable to consult an expert, presenting the related Solar Observatory HINODE is also in a low-altitude earth information. ISACS-DOC should help the expert to orbit and its requirements for monitoring and diagnostic diagnose the incident or abnormality. To do so, the are similar to AKARI. information from both the satellite and ground facilities Both of ISACS-DOCs for AKARI and HINODE needs to be integrated and presented. continue to operate successfully. So far, ISACS-DOC system has been applied to the This paper reports on the enhanced functions, operating following deep space missions - the Geomagnetic status, and an approach to create standards to build and Observation Satellite GEOTAIL (launched in 1992), Mars keep up the knowledge data base of the monitoring and Explorer NOZOMI (launched in 1998), and a diagnostic system ISACS-DOC.

The diagnosed results are sent by e-mail and referable though web browser display. ISACS-DOC consists of following 6 main functions. 1. Import: the system imports knowledge data base and telemetry definition data base, and extracts telemetry entry, which are required in monitoring and diagnosing. 2. Telemetry reception: the system receives telemetry data in real time, decomposes them to each telemetry entry, extracts status values, converts to physical Figure 2: Main window of ISACS-DOC values and finally creates primary data, according to the telemetry definition data base. 3. Monitoring data creation: the system creates monitoring data which are necessary for monitoring and diagnosing, based on the knowledge data base. A filtering procedure and limit check are applied to primary data, creating secondary data. Compound data are created from multiple data: secondary data and compound data, as needed. 4. Monitoring and diagnosing: the system monitors and diagnoses according to the definition of knowledge data base. 5. Display: monitored and diagnosed results are shown through a HTTP server. 6.

The IRIS team at the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL) created new data cubes consisting of the Hinode/SOT and SDO/AIA images co-aligned with the simultaneous IRIS observations. These datasets all have the same IRIS level 2 FITS format, therefore can be accessed and examined using the IRIS SolarSoft software. In this guide, we provide step by step instructions how to access, read, and visualize these newly created co-aligned data cubes. In particular, we describe: • How to find data using SolarSoft IDL routines; • How to acquire data sets using either SolarSoft or Heliophysics Coverage Registry (HCR); • How to read data and visualize them using SolarSoft routines or Crisp Spectral Explorer (CRISPEX).
