Remote access multi-mission processing and analysis ground environment (RAMPAGE)

At Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a goal of providing easy and simple data access to the mission engineering data using web-based standards to a wide variety of users is now possible by the RAMPAGE development. Because RAMPAGE provides platform independence by utilizing a freely available web browser instead of a special purpose workstation, a myriad of users are able to participate in multiple missions from any location via a virtual workstation environment. The first stage of RAMPAGE prototype was envisioned and developed while supporting the Galileo project and then to be followed by Deep Space 1 DS1 and Cassini project. The plan is to deploy the production system of RAMPAGE to support Mars 01 orbiter, Lander and Rover project, which is to be launched around March and April 2001. Discussions are also ongoing to deploy RAMPAGE to the Space InfraRed Telescope Facility (SLRTF) project which is to be launched December 2001.
