This paper will describe an ESA/ESOC led GSTP activity for an automation project (IDEA) consistent with a single integrated environment for the preparation of automation procedures. The intention is to bridge the gap between procedure definition in the offline environment and procedure validation in the execution environment. The project will capitalise on an existing generic product (MOIS) used by all missions at ESOC to create and manage procedures. It will execute these procedures automatically using the MATIS component which in turn interfaces with the ground control systems through a common Service Management Framework (SMF). 1. MATIS was initially developed on a draft of the PLUTO language, modified to support direct use of the SMF services. 2. The SMF offers the services of all the ground control system elements via a common interface. 3. RHEA System's Manufacturing and Operations Information System (MOIS) is used for the preparation of both manual and automation procedures. The main user-driven objective is to include automated operations seamlessly within the established infrastructure in order to provide a more coherent environment. The technical objectives of the project are to upgrade MATIS to support PLUTO version 1.0 of the ECSS-E-ST-70-32C (E32) standard, to develop a true PLUTO-aware editor conforming to this standard (in Eclipse RCP) and to deploy a Space System Model (SSM) consistent with the ECSS-E-ST-70-31C (E31) standard. This will facilitate an abstracted hierarchical classification of the mission data and hide the implementation details of the SMF service layer from the PLUTO scripting interface. While this IDEA project is focused on automation procedures, a complementary MOIS and MORE project will further develop a single integrated environment for all types, including manual and on-board control procedures. The paper will present the project concepts, the design of the software and a demonstration of the new integrated PLUTO procedure preparation and automation system.
