EMPRESS (Expert Mission Planning and Replanning Scheduling System) has been jointly under development since 1984 by The MITRE Corporation and NASA at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), with support from the NASA Center's Cargo Processing Directorate. The objective of EMPRESS is to support the planning and scheduling required to prepare science and applications payloads for flight aboard the Space Shuttle. EMPRESS was designed and implemented in Zetalisp on a 3600 series Symbolics Lisp Machine. Initially, EMPRESS was built as a concept demonstration system. The system has since been modified and expanded to ensure that it is easy to use and that the data have integrity. This new, enhanced capability is known as EMPRESS-I. This paper describes issues underlying the design and development of the EMPRESS-I interface. Since EMPRESS-I is currently being used at KSC, results from an assessment of the system's usability are also provided.
