NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) uses uDraw(Graph) to analyze structure of prototype NGST mirror control software
uDraw(Graph) is playing
an important role in the development of prototype software for
NASA's
Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST).
NGST, a powerful space telescope, will replace
the highly successful Hubble Space Telescope and is scheduled for launch in 2010.
Goal of the observation of NGST is to explain the first stars and galaxies in the
Universe and to find an answer to the fundamental question for the shape of the
Universe.
JPL engineers are using uDraw(Graph) as one component of a system
that extracts design artifacts from existing research software that is used to
support mirror control experiments for NASA's NGST program. This design
information, typically in the form of function call trees, will be helpful in
defining requirements for a new version of the mirror control software that will
be suitable for integration into the NGST ground system.
Furthermore NASA organization JPL chooses our software
to visualise automatically and very quickly complex software structures with
around 800 nodes. With the layout program uDraw(Graph) the
researchers have a professional tool in use.
