Is Eclipse more of a Mission Management tool, or a Command and Control
tool? I've never used it, but it looks as if it is a command and control
tool. Is this correct?

Wow, as a systems software person, it was enlightening to me to learn
that telecom folk and middleware folk all speak using the same English
words I do but with those words taking on a whole 'nother meaning than
what I'm used to. I guess I just learned that "the Aerospace world" is
yet another different universe linguistically speaking.

If you saw a pile of metal and bags of nuts and bolts... would you say
they were "mission management tools" or "command and control tools"? Or
would you just say "they can be either", depending on the *tools* you
actually built from the components you found lying there.

That's Eclipse... a bunch of components. What type of "tool" it is
depends on what you put together with those components.

Just curious...are you taking some kind of course, and is this a
homework question?

The NASA Maestro platform (built on Eclipse technology) is used more for
command and control (AFAIK). I understand that ESA is putting Eclipse
(in some form) onto satellites.
