International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) was successfully launched on October 17, 2002. It was lifted off from Baikonur in Kazakhstan on a Russian Proton launcher and is now on a 72-hour elliptical orbit, ranging from 9,000 km up to 155,000 km from Earth. It will produce a complete map of the sky in the soft gamma-ray waveband and it is capable of performing high spectral and spatial observations in gamma rays. More ...

Juno will improve our understanding of the solar system's beginnings by revealing the origin and evolution of Jupiter. More ...

KEPLER is specifically designed to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover dozens of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone and determine how many of the billions of stars in our galaxy have such planets. More ...

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) returns to the moon, enabling new discoveries and bringing the moon back into the public eye. More ...

Mars Atmosphere and volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) is part of NASA's Mars Scout program, funded by NASA Headquarters. Set to launch in 2013, the mission will explore the Red Planet's upper atmosphere, ionosphere and interactions with the sun and solar wind. More ...

Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet. More ...

Mars Express (MEX) will image the entire surface of Mars at high resolution (10 meters/pixel) and selected areas at super resolution (2 meters/pixel). More ...

Mars Reconnaissance (MRO) blasted off from Cape Canaveral in 2005, on a search for evidence that water persisted on the surface of Mars for a long period of time. More ...

Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) is a rover that will assess whether Mars ever was, or is still today, an environment able to support microbial life. More ...

New Horizons began its journey across the solar system to conduct flyby studies of Pluto and its moon. More ...

2001 Mars Odyssey is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet. More ...

Asteroid Sample Return Mission OSIRIS-REx is the third planetary science mission selected for development in NASA's New Frontiers Program. More ...

Venus Climate Oribter (PLANET-C) - JAXA is one of the future planetary missions of Japan, aims at understanding the atmospheric circulation of Venus. More ...

ROSETTA orbiter will rendezvous with Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and remain in close proximity to the icy nucleus as it plunges towards the warmer inner reaches of the Sun's domain. At the same time, a small lander will be released onto the surface of this mysterious cosmic iceberg. More ...

Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) will provide global measurements of soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state. More ...

Solar & Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) project is a cooperative effort between the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA. SOHO was designed to study the internal structure of the Sun, its extensive outer atmosphere and the origin of the solar wind, the stream of highly ionized gas that blows continuously outward through the Solar System. More ...

Solar Probe Plus will be an extraordinary and historic mission, exploring what is arguably the last region of the solar system to be visited by a spacecraft, the Sun's outer atmosphere or corona as it extends out into space. More ...

Welcome to the AMMOS Website!
The Advanced Multi-Mission Operations System (AMMOS) provides most of the ground data system functions needed to design, implement, and operate a Mission Operations System (MOS).
AMMOS consists of a core set of products that can be readily customized to accommodate the specific needs of individual missions. It is based on a simple idea: build the elements of an MOS that are common to multiple missions once rather than individual missions duplicate development and maintenance effort.
Using AMMOS lowers mission cost and risk by providing a mature base for mission operations systems at significantly reduced development time. AMMOS enables Principal Investigators by providing direct, immediate, flexible, and seamless interaction with their instruments and data from almost any location without requiring expertise in mission operations or the AMMOS.
High quality and cost effectiveness of our products is why NASA has chosen the AMMOS to support NASA Deep Space and Astrophysics missions.
