The Application Research Toolbox (ART) is a collection of computer programs that implement algorithms <strong>and</strong><br />
mathematical models for simulating remote sensing systems. The ART is intended to be especially useful for performing<br />
design-tradeoff studies <strong>and</strong> statistical analyses to support the rational development of design requirements for multispectral<br />
imaging systems. Among other things, the ART affords a capability to synthesize coarser-spatial-resolution image-data sets<br />
from finer-spatial-resolution data sets <strong>and</strong> multispectral-image-data products from hyperspectral-image-data products. The<br />
ART also provides for synthesis of image-degradation effects, including point-spread functions, misregistration of spectral<br />
images, <strong>and</strong> noise. The ART can utilize real or synthetic data sets, along with sensor specifications, to create simulated data<br />
sets. In one example of a typical application, simulated data pertaining to an existing multispectral sensor system are used to<br />
verify the data collected by the system in operation. In the case of a proposed sensor system, the simulated data can be used<br />
to conduct trade studies <strong>and</strong> statistical analyses to ensure that the sensor system will satisfy the requirements of potential<br />
scientific, academic, <strong>and</strong> commercial user communities.<br />

This report summaries the project team’s activity during the period 1 January - 31 March 2004. It consists of a project<br />
plan, which was completed during this period <strong>and</strong> an indication of the completion status of each phase of the project. The<br />
intention of the investigative team is to closely follow the statement of work documented in our proposal. For this reason, the<br />
proposal may be referenced in this <strong>and</strong> upcoming status reports. This project got underway in this quarter. Our activity was<br />
to formulate a project plan <strong>and</strong> to engage in planning meetings with collaborators.<br />

A program, entitled Weights, Areas, <strong>and</strong> Mass Properties (or WAMI) is centered around an array of menus that contain<br />
constants that can be used in various mass estimating relationships for the ultimate purpose of obtaining the mass properties<br />
of Earth-to-Orbit Transports. The current Shuttle mass property data was relied upon heavily for baseline equation constant<br />
values from which other options were derived.<br />

The 3MCS computer program assists <strong>and</strong> instrumentation engineer in performing the 3 essential functions of design,<br />
documentation, <strong>and</strong> configuration management of measurement <strong>and</strong> control systems in a large test facility. Services provided<br />
by 3MCS are acceptance of input from multiple engineers <strong>and</strong> technicians working at multiple locations;st<strong>and</strong>ardization of<br />
drawings;automated cross-referencing; identification of errors;listing of components <strong>and</strong> resources; downloading of test<br />
settings; <strong>and</strong> provision of information to customers.<br />
