For making the optimal use out of the given flight hours in a HALO campaign, it is of utmost importance that the individual measurements flights are properly planned and that those plans can be communicated efficiently and iterated with the pilots and operating crew. From the year 2000 on, IEK-7 did build an expertise in model-based scientific flight planning with the goal to optimize the scientific outcome of research flights, while scientific questions to be answered by the flights were getting more complex.In 2010, the Mission Support System was developed by Marc Rautenhaus at DLR in collaboration with Jülich. This Python based approach offers great benefits over the previous ways of providing scientific information needed for flight planning. The MSS tool combines a dedicated flight planning tool to define a series of way points for the pilots with the ability to project the flight path on model data cross sections. MSS has been used for flight planning in various scientific aircraft campaigns beginning about in 2010 in which DLR was involved. Since the MSS Software is written under the Apache 2.0 Open Source Software License, it could be further developed with collaboration from Jülich to serve our needs for the planning of the POLSTRACC HALO campaign in 2016 with great success, employing now also CLaMS simulation forecasts, cirrus cloud forecasts by the model CLaMS-ice, and specially derived data products needed to visualize gravity wave activity. Since then, it was used extensively also by the EMERGE and WISE HALO campaigns. While the tool has undergone some improvements since 2010, no funding was granted dedicated to the general MSS development from any funding agency since 2010. Individual campaigns made available resources to address the immediate needs of the campaigns (such as setting up the campaign specific MSS servers or adding campaign dedicated visualization modes to the server), but no major improvements aside bug-fixing could be made through the part-time work of involved scientist.This project will support the further development of the MSS client and server in several sub-projects employing a trained programmer for one year since dedicating this amount of time is infeasible for the current developers. The resulting MSS version will be of great benefit for all upcoming HALO campaigns starting with the SouthTRAC. The new MSS will support the new and upcoming WMS mapping standards, allow for new and improved usage patterns, and have training materials available for new users and server administrators. Future and past campaign PIs are involved in the process to give advice with respect to what features will benefit the community the most.

为了在HALO活动中最佳地利用给定的飞行小时，最重要的是适当地规划单独的测量飞行，并且这些计划可以与飞行员和操作机组人员有效地沟通和迭代。从2000年开始，IEK-7在基于模型的科学飞行规划方面积累了专业知识，目标是优化研究飞行的科学成果，而飞行所要回答的科学问题越来越复杂。2010年，德国航天中心的Marc Rautenhaus与Jülich合作开发了使命支持系统。这种基于Python的方法比以前提供飞行计划所需的科学信息的方法有很大的好处。MSS工具结合了一个专用的飞行计划工具，为飞行员定义一系列航路点，并能够在模型数据横截面上投影飞行路径。大约从2010年开始，德国航天中心参与了各种科学飞机活动，MSS被用于飞行规划。由于MSS软件是在Apache 2.0开源软件许可证下编写的，因此可以与Jülich合作进一步开发，以满足我们在2016年规划POLSTRACC HALO活动的需求，并取得巨大成功，现在还采用CLaMS模拟预报，通过模型CLaMS-ice进行卷云预报，以及可视化重力波活动所需的特殊衍生数据产品。从那时起，它也被EMERGE和WISE HALO运动广泛使用。虽然该工具自2010年以来有所改进，但自2010年以来，没有任何供资机构专门为管理支助系统的一般发展提供资金。个别运动提供了资源，以满足运动的迫切需要（例如设置活动特定MSS服务器或向服务器添加活动专用可视化模式），但除了修正错误外，参与的科学家的兼职工作并没有作出重大的改进。这个项目将支持MSS客户端和服务器在几个子系统中的进一步发展，项目雇用一名训练有素的程序员一年，因为投入这么多时间对目前的开发人员来说是不可行的。由此产生的MSS版本将极大地有益于从SouthTRAC开始的所有即将开展的HALO活动。新的MSS将支持新的和即将推出的WMS映射标准，允许新的和改进的使用模式，并为新用户和服务器管理员提供培训材料。未来和过去的活动PI都参与到这个过程中，就哪些功能最能使社区受益提出建议。
