Software Technology Assignment
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - This assignment should be done individually.
The assignment submission should contain the following:
- A test plan;
- A program (working or not working); Your source code file (or files) enough so that I could re-compile it if I want, and any test files you created;
- Documentation of your test plan, and documenting its results;
- Evidence of you running a number of mandatory well documented test runs;
- A short reflection report; and
- An optional feedback paragraph to me which is not marked.
This assignment is marked after semester ends in the exam period resubmissions will NOT be possible.
You can ask for help in the tutorials, and hints, but the assignment should be your own work.
Assignment Briefing:
The wonderful company, Space Y, is a fictional company that makes its money by providing orbital services (aka, blasting rockets into space). They are ramping up spaceflights; to help them they need a monthly planner. The Monthly planner will take an input file and produce an order plan and an action plan.
The order plan is a list of materials and services that SpaceY needs to order for all the launches that month. The Action Plan is a list of actions for that month and this list can be quite long, so it also needs to be produced to a file for later printing.
They have three lift vehicles; Hawk-9, Hawk Heavy and the BFR. They offer a range of services including manned spaceflight.
The services they offer are similar to MT2; you can, if you want, hard code the services as we did in MT1.
Space vehicles can be launched into three standard orbits: LEO (low earth orbit), GTO (Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit) and CSO (CircumSolar Orbit). NESA tracking must be arranged for GTO and CSO orbits.
You program needs to do the following (also see marking rubric below)
Show a small menu with 3 options (console or swing at your option)
- Produce an order plan for the month;
- Produce an action plan to console; and
- Produce an action plan to a file; and
- 4 - Exit
If options 1, 2 or 3 are selected it should ask for a file name which is the monthly orders file. This is an input file, several will be provided for mandatory testing. (see Monthly-Orders format below)
If option 3 is selected it should ask for an output file name, this file will have the order plan written to it.

List of notes about the program:
1. LOX, RP1 and Methane (fuels) are bulk ordered at the beginning of the month so a month total must be computed. (the BFR runs on Methane and Lox, the others run on RP1 and LOX).
2. The first line of the order plan must read 'Order Plan for MMMMM YY' where MMMMM is the full month name and YY is the year, the order of the other lines does not matter.
3. A nitrogen flush requires three cylinders of Nitrogen.
4. SpaceY can launch two rockets in a day; but they must use different launch pads. One launches in the am timeslot (6 to 11); the other in the pm timeslot (11:30 to 15:40)
5. PPP is the allocated launch pad - your action plan must allocate the Launch pad. Two launches on the same day must use different pads.
6. TTT is the fuel type - your action plan must use the correct fuel.
7. FFF is the flight ID (e.g. SYH17).
8. CCC is the comment field (which can be blank or empty in the file).
9. CLIENT should be the client id.
10. The BFR can only be launched from Launchpad KSC
11. NESA Tracking is needed for CSO and GTO orbits only.
12. Some services require a Drako spacecraft which must be on the order plan (it does not appear on the action plan).
