"I want to... respect the system constraints, without being beholden to the system constraints"

Problem Statement

To prepare for Artemis lunar EVAs, planners in Mission Control need to understand the temporal and geospatial factors and constraints that may affect the mission, and create plans accordingly. During the EVA, they should be able to quickly suggest modifications if necessary. 

Reframing the Problem

In the Mission Control Center, there is tension between the culture of safety and the need for efficiency. While safety is the number one priority, efficiency is compromised to ensure confidence in the safest, optimal decision.

Our Focus

How might we prepare EVA planners to advocate for their decisions effectively and confidently? 
How might we decrease frustration in EVA planners’ workflow?
How might we increase individual confidence and speed during dynamic repathing?
