Support was provided for a person to be at the Utah State Joint Operations Control Center (JOCC) during the flight of the Skipper satellite, and to develop software needed to display the spectrometers' data while the satellite is in orbit. A large amount of engineering and scientific data was to be collected during the flight of the Skipper satellite. These data needed to be reviewed in real time in order to evaluate the health of the satellite's subsystems and then to determine the next most reasonable step in the adaptive orbit strategy that was at the heart of the mission's design. In order to accomplish these ends, the scientific data needed to be disseminated to the members of the science team in absolute units for evaluation and interpretation. These tasks will required the development of specialized software for the conversion of the raw telemetry bit stream into calibrated data for graphic display in engineering units.
