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 in-flight, by leveraging the work Stottler Henke [has] already done with Aurora.
United Space Alliance selected Aurora for inclusion in their Temporis system to provide automated scheduling on board the Crew Exploration Vehicle.
Christopher Leslie
Senior Mission Planner, United Space Alliance
The precursor version of Aurora is used daily to support major processing and space shuttle launch decisions; to coordinate 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 system.
AMP was used by NASA to schedule ground-based activities to prepare the space shuttle before each mission and refurbish the shuttle after each mission.

“Spinoff” Publication
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.
