\section{Purpose of the Project}
\subsection{User Business}
The primary objective of our project is to provide satellite operators with a platform to automatically schedule and send commands to satellites as they pass overhead. In addition, the system will keep logs of all commands sent, responses, with concurrent access available.

\subsection{Societal Impact}
Our application is essential for society for several reasons. First, it directly supports the mission of the McMaster Interdisciplinary Satellite Team (MIST). This application can play a pivotal role for the success of MIST missions like NEUDOSE and PRESET by facilitating automatic scheduling and sending of commands to satellites as they orbit Earth. These missions are about understanding prolonged space radiation on human tissue and understanding the behaviour and impact it has on our atmosphere respectively. Our application can facilitate these missions thereby increasing the chance of these missions to being successful. The web-based interface makes the application accessible from various locations and devices, significantly improving accessibility and operational flexibility compared to traditional satellite control systems.

One significant advantage of this product over existing solutions is the user-friendly interface. It combines ease of use with the ability to schedule commands, predict satellite overpasses, and manage user authentication and authorization with modern protocols like OpenID Connect. This enhances operational efficiency and ensures secure, reliable satellite communication. Moreover, the application’s ability to log all commands and responses with different users is crucial for maintaining accurate records.

It uses TLE data for accurate orbital predictions and incorporates UTF-8 character encoding for command exchanges, which enhances the system's robustness and fault tolerance. The web-based interface makes the application accessible from various locations and devices, significantly improving accessibility and flexibility compared to traditional satellite communication systems.


\subsection{Hands-On Users of the Project}
Operators have access to many functions that they previously didn't, and can act on these functions with the click of a button. They can perform the same actions as they did before, but with more efficiency and ease.

\textbf{1. Commands Sent to the Satellite Must Be Encrypted}

\paragraph{Definitions:}
Let $C$ be the set of all commands that can be sent to satellites, $S$ be the set of all satellites, and $E$ be the set of all encrypted commands.\\

\textbf{Functions:}
\begin{itemize}
\item Encryption: $f : C \rightarrow E$.
\item Send: $g : E \times S \rightarrow \text{``Sent''}$.
\end{itemize}

\textbf{2. Users Sending Data to the Application}

\paragraph{Definitions:}
Let $U$ be the set of all users, $D$ be the set of all data items that users can send, and $A$ represent the application.\\


\textbf{Relation:}
\begin{itemize}
\item Sending Relation: $R \subseteq (U \times D \times \{A\})$.
\end{itemize}

\textbf{3. Each Satellite Has Many Schedules}

\paragraph{Definitions:}
Let $S$ be the set of all satellites (as defined earlier) and $Sc$ be the set of all possible schedules.\\

\textbf{Relation:}
\begin{itemize}
\item Scheduling Relation: $H \subseteq S \times Sc$.

The MCT must have an option to interrupt an executed command sequence during execution. \\
\textbf{Rationale:} This is to allow the user to undo if a command was sent as a mistake or incorrect on their part. This will save plenty of time for the user rather than having to wait till the original command has been processed.
