Major: BS Aerospace Engineering

Company: Honeyell Technology Solutions, Inc. (HTSI)

Mentor: Erick Mathis

Code: 451 - Customer Commitment Office

The Mission-Station Information System (MSIS) is a restricted World-Wide Web accessible collection of relational databases intended to provide a holistic view of missions and their network support resources. There are currently 4 databases (Mission Requirements and Support Parameters Database, Station Resources Database, Pointsof- Contact Database and the MSIS Administration database). MSIS will provide increased efficiency across contracts and NASA by locating commonly used data in one site, providing points of contacts to mission resources, and providing canned queries and reports of repeatedly requested data. MSIS increases productivity by reducing the need for redundant data gathering. Ultimately, MSIS will facilitate NASA’s Space Network and Ground Network capacity analyses and will reduce searching times for mission or station data.
