Abstract:
A history of commanding anomalies experienced by the Mars Global Surveyor, Stardust, Mars Odyssey, and Genesis missions prompted JPL to perform a comprehensive review of the command uplink process. Implementation of 9 recommendations has resulted in a decrease in the rate of command errors on subsequent JPL missions. The two most important recommendations are to ensure that each command has a unique and clear identifier and to schedule periodic Flight Team training in command processes.
