Customer Testimonials

Temporis is a crucial piece of software that will enable the President’s Vision for Space Exploration. We are very excited about the prospect of devising a highly automated way of accomplishing this scheduling in-flight, by leveraging the work Stottler Henke already has done with Aurora.

– Christopher Leslie
United Space Alliance, Senior Mission Planner
United Space Alliance selected Aurora for inclusion in their Temporis system to provide automated scheduling on-board the Crew Exploration Vehicle.

The precursor version of Aurora is used daily to support major processing and space shuttle launch decisions; to coordinate our launches with those of Russia, Japan, and the European Space Agency; and to determine NASA’s launch requirements and flight rates. It enables us to generate complex schedules in a few hours, compared to days or weeks required by our previous scheduling systems.

AMP is used by NASA to schedule ground-based activities to prepare the space shuttle before each mission and refurbish the shuttle after each mission.

The resulting AMP product enables expert Shuttle schedulers to input their knowledge to create a working automatic scheduling system. In contrast, personnel unfamiliar with long-term scheduling can maintain the system without the years of training that were previously required to handle such a task. For the past 8 years, AMP has been maintaining the mission manifest, performing advanced scheduling studies, and producing manifest reports for all NASA field centers on a daily basis. Kennedy also uses AMP to schedule the short- and long-term external tank/solid rocket booster processing in a much faster and more accurate manner than the previous manual process.
