HM-RB-2001-1, AFSC SPACE AND MISSILE SYSTEMS CENTER STANDARD PRACTICE: HUMAN COMPUTER INTERFACE DISPLAY CONVENTIONS FOR SPACE SYSTEMS OPERATIONS (01 JAN 2001) [SUPERSEDING LMM DM10146-002]., The Human Machine Interface (HMI) Conventions Document has been developed under the direction of and with oversight from the United States (US) Air Force Space Command (AFSPC). It provides recommended HMI conventions for use in designing satellite operations systems. The intent is to provide sound HMI practices for either: satellite operations programs, which are planning upgrades, or for new programs, which employ operator workstations to perform any satellite operations activities. The conventions described in this document were developed to be as flexible as possible, while attempting to ensure commonality between satellite operations systems. Every effort has been made to maximize the incorporation of basic industry standards, existing/proven program designs, and derive specific conventions where necessary to meet unique domain requirements. The conventions are based upon the latest Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) Employment Concept (Department of the Air Force, 1996) and the Functional Task Analysis (FTA) (Lockheed Martin Mission Systems, 1998). The FTA captures specific tasks, operator decisions, and screen content determined to be necessary to accomplish each task. These conventions are also consistent with the Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) [Version 2.0, 1998] and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Recommended Practice for Human-Computer Interface for Space Systems Operations (HCISSO) [BSR/AIAA R-023A-1995, 1995]. A companion to this document is the Developer’s Style Guide for the Satellite Operations Human Machine Interface (HMI) Conventions, which specifically identifies each convention, its behavior, references, and data content for each of the domain screens designed during this effort. It also includes comments on design considerations, rational for the design and technical information where available. Examples of the conventions, specifically domain screens, can be found in the Screen Design Library for the Satellite Operations Human Machine Interface (HMI) Conventions. All three of these documents are available to Satellite Program Offices (SPOs) for consideration and inclusion in the design or modification of any graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The HMI Management Review Board, representing the user community, will assist with determining the use and implementation of these conventions.
