Airline pilot here, not the same of course, but I am used to sensible procedures that must be done on time, also I am aware of the importance of fast feedback and continuous evolution of procedures. Just some questions:
- How astronauts and mission control receive this procedures, written, computer, ipad, are google glass(or a similar HUD) a possibility to show the procedures live while working?
- Is it possible for them to make annotations, questions, have feedback on real time, or while preparing the mission? Could this be a desirable feature?
I don't really know of any tool that may be useful, I don't think that Microsoft project could really fit, it is too complicated for the task IMHO. I it should be something with this features (maybe not, Just guessing!):
- A version control like git that allows to save procedures, sub procedures, edits, comments, explanations or technical discussions that are not included in the "printed" version, informs and a tool to navigate all of them visually.
-User management: be able to have your own user, so as to have your edits in your account. Be able to follow another user or group of users.
- Word editor template a la google docs, that allows to see both EVA procedures, but with some excel like capabilities, like creating a time line(rows). Steps (cells) that can have a relationship with other cells from the same EVA(column), with the other EVA, with mission control and/or self properties (like tool to be used, comments, reports, etc..)
-Possibility to save sub-procedures to be used again, insert them in a different mission, also must have the possibility to be branched in a new mission to modify them. Also be reported, comment/discussion timeline, etc...
- Be multi-platform: laptop/PC/mac/linux, tablet, print format, and also HUD appliances(google glasses), (so the astronaut is able to scroll and read while on the vest).
-Also I suppose that multiple views of the same procedure must be possible, like simple, expanded, annotations, reports, versions, missions, incidents, warnings...
I don't know if a software of this kind could be created from parts of open source programs like open-office, git, etc.. or it must be created from cero.
Edit: typos.
