A Frontend for Real-Time Data Management in Simulated Mars Expeditions
The bachelor's thesis, developed in collaboration with the Austrian Space Forum (ÖWF) in Innsbruck, focuses on the conception and development of a frontend application for managing and visualizing telemetry data in simulated Mars expeditions organized by the ÖWF.
During these missions, analog astronaut suits continuously transmit sensor, video and audio data that must be reliably received, processed, and monitored in real time. Flight Control operators on-site require an adaptable interface to work with the data efficiently. A configurable and extensible frontend system can address these challenges by providing role-based data access, flexible visualization, and data forwarding to the remote mission control center.
The research and development focus should include:
- Data Visualization: Configurable, real-time graphs for monitoring suit telemetry data.
- Data Storage: Reliable persistence of incoming mission data for later review.
- Role-Based & Manual Filtering: Granular control over displayed and forwarded data based on user roles.
- Configurable Interface: A flexible UI adaptable to the specific requirements of each mission.
- Extensibility: An architecture that accommodates future missions and data sources with minimal effort.
- Data Forwarding: Relaying telemetry data from on-site Flight Control to the remote Mission Control station in Vienna.
Thesis Goal: The goal of this bachelor’s thesis is to design and implement a configurable frontend application for real-time telemetry data management in simulated Mars expeditions, enabling Flight Control operators to efficiently monitor, filter, store, and forward astronaut suit data across distributed mission control infrastructure.
