Traceable Automation with Remote Display and Interruptible Scheduler (TARDIS) is a software set designed for use in ground operations. TARDIS is a multi-mission automation framework that supports seamless integration of manual and automatic processing. It was developed to automate mission design and navigation (MDN) procedures, but is general enough to automate many other kinds of procedures as well. It allows users to define the tasks to run and the circumstances under which to run them. Thereafter, TARDIS watches the entire host computer and automatically runs the corresponding tasks as conditions change. It also watches the tasks as they run and logs their results. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) front end, so users can monitor and control system state and task progress from any Web browser. As a result, many complex procedures can be completed more quickly, under controlled conditions, and without human intervention or error.
