UK SBS IT17111 SKA Telescope Manager Software
Notice Description
The Telescope Manager (TM) project is one of a number of work packages established for the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) (pre-construction phase) project as directed and overseen by the SKA Project Office (Jodrell Bank), with large worldwide consortia set-up for each of its work packages following a non- competitive bid submission and selection process in 2013. The TM work package is a software project with National Centre for Radio Astrophysics ,India (NCRA) as the consortium lead and led locally at the UK ATC by Alan Bridger, involving the UK ATC Software Group only but with some software effort sub-contracted to an external industrial partner. The UK ATC is leading the Observation Management element, a key top level item responsible for all aspects of science observing, from proposal submission, through detailed observation preparation and planning to the online execution of scripts to take and calibrate science data. The work also supports various system engineering and telescope management tasks. All of the work requires effort input only, with some travel and subsistence expenditure and contract payments to industry. Observation Management also includes teams from INAF and Indian Industry, led from the UKATC. The main aim of this Contract is to continue to support and update work done under a previous Contract to deliver a Critical Design Review (CDR)-level design for the Planning and Scheduling components of the SKA1 Observation Management system.
