An antenna assembly is provided. The antenna assembly includes a parabolic reflector having a parabolic focal point and defining a boresight axis, a radio feed arranged on struts at the parabolic focal point and a calibration system. The calibration system includes a camera attached to the radio feed, a video feed displaying an image of an object generated by the camera, controls for centering the image in the video feed, an antenna rotator for aiming the parabolic reflector toward the object in accordance with the image being centered in the video feed and a controller. The calibration system is operable by first inputs to the controls that are reflected in the video feed and a second input to the controller to calibrate pointing of the parabolic reflector.

Pointing calibration for antenna

A method, including receiving a search query for resources that are configured to establish a connection with a space vehicle, the search query including a first value for a connection parameter; identifying one or more tactic definitions that satisfy the search query, each of the tactic definitions including one or more second values for the connection parameter, wherein at least one of the second values for the connection parameter matches the first value for the connection parameter that is included in the search query; and generating one or more tactic options, each of the tactic options being generated based on a respective one of the tactic definitions, each of the tactic options being associated with a respective resource of the tactic option.

Method and apparatus for selecting a resource for connecting to a space vehicle

A computing machine stores a tree structure representing a hierarchical organization. The tree structure comprises a command node and a plurality of domain nodes below the command node. The computing machine leverages the tree structure to generate a multi-domain operational plan.

Methods and computer architecture supporting a multi-domain operational plan

There is a mission management system includes core software modules instantiable, configurable, and deployable at runtime to complete a mission objective. The system also includes asset platforms directable to complete the mission objective or another mission objective. An operational node is further included for instantiating and configuring the core software modules at runtime to direct the asset platforms to complete the mission objective or the another mission objective. The asset platforms are connectable to establish a session with the operational node to enable the direction. The configured software modules are migratable between the operational node and the asset platforms at runtime. A computer-readable medium is active across the system to provide architecture and processor-executable instructions for the instantiation, configuration, and deployment of software modules.
