Spacecraft cockpit

This division is responsible for projects related to spacecraft human machine interface design. Among the projects:

  • ORION Spacecraft: Develop and implement prototype displays, support display specification
  • X-38/CRV Cockpit: Develop and implement prototype displays, support display requirements definition

AANA supports the design challenges related to highly automated/sophisticated and complex systems. We turn ideas into actual physical prototypes, organize test campaigns and process the results to refine the designs.

  • Define and implement the software and hardware interfaces and operational concepts, in collaboration with the system experts and users.
    • C/C++, OpenGL, MFC and Windows Programming
    • Microsoft Visual Studio and GL Studio

  • Define and implement subsystem simulators using Commercial Software Tools, NASA proprietary Tools and in-house developments.
    • Matlab/Simulink models and custom S-Functions
    • Trick models

  • Integrate prototype interfaces, simulators and custom made human factors analysis tools to define and support test campaigns.
    • C/C++, MFC and Windows Programming
    • Visual C++, Visual Basic
    • UDP/TCP Programming

We use our system and operational knowledge of spacecraft system and operations, human factors expertise and programming skills to quickly turn ideas into viable solutions; provide starting points for further elaborations and test campaigns. But we also support an easy evolution from prototype to actual operational system, minimizing development cost and time.
