Real-time simulation for space station

Article Abstract:

The Space Shuttle Program has extensively utilized real-time, man-in-the-loop simulation to evaluate systems design and integrated system performance on the ground. The NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) Engineering Directorate simulation facilities are continually upgraded throughout the program to consist of near state-of-the-art computer hardware and software. Space station scenarios are now being developed and incorporated into the Systems Engineering Simulator. A new Space Station simulator is also being designed. A comprehensive description and analysis of these simulation systems is presented.

Space station data management system: a common GSE test interface for systems testing and verification

Article Abstract:

The functional requirements of the Space Station Data Management System (DMS) Common Ground Support Equipment are described. The complexities of the system testing process are related to the computer hardware architecture and its interrelationship with the software. The overall test philosophy for the distributed system is based on knowledge gained from experience with previous centralized systems of the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. Solutions to the unique problems of verification of distributed systems and potential hardware and software tools are presented.

Shuttle orbit flight control design lessons: direction for space station

Article Abstract:

The design integration and operational issues that were resolved in the successful implementation of the Space Shuttle orbit flight control system provide knowledge for the development of the Space Station System. The major lessons learned from the shuttle are discussed. Crew interface considerations, the results of the man-in-the-loop tests, and hardware and software design parameters are included. Possible improvements to the shuttle system and their application to the space station are presented.
