EPOCH V4TAO is an automation language that executes spacecraft procedures through the EPOCH Integrated Product Suite. It supports telemetry checking, command and directive transmission, user prompts, master/shadow functionality, and extension functions. TAO has three components: TAO Server, TAO Client, and TAO Simulator. TAO Server coordinates the execution of directives, interfaces with EPOCH Server for execution of directives, and interfaces with the TAO Client to pass execution information to the TAO Client GUI. TAO Client is composed of several applications that provide the full lifecycle of a spacecraft procedure – creation, modification, review, approval, execution, response verification, and analysis. Finally, TAO Simulator provides the ability to test TAO procedures by executing them without requiring a full TAO Server/EPOCH environment. Integrated with Integral Systems Cactus security software, TAO’s major capabilities are also protected against unauthorized access.
