Abstract
The Traceability and Reporting Program (TARP) is the basic support software utilized by the DSN Operational Data Center (ODC). It is used during mission operations to provide administrative control and selective dissemination of information concerning transferable DSN mission data products. Significant qualitative information relative to data record production, quality, logistics, and recycleability status are entered into the data base with respective operational data. Data records covered in TARP consist of original, system, and master magnetic tapes with supplemental microfilmed hard-copy records. The execution of this program within ODC in support of Mariner Mars 1971 (MM’71) operations is reviewed in this article, focusing on the evolution of the program through MM’71, into its current status, and planned configuration for Pioneer G and Mariner Venus/Mercury 1973 mission support. The program’s current organization structure is adaptive to both mission operation support and management information support environments. Thus concurrent efforts are being expended on the adaptability of the present system to data management systems involved in hierarchical reporting relationships concerned with user-operations-management interfaces.
