An introduction to the NASA Shuttle ground operations simulator (SGOS)

摘要

The Shuttle ground operations simulator (SGOS) simulation software introduced in this paper is used to train NASA ground controllers and to certify launch countdown readiness. The SGOS executive and its subsystems have been an integral component of the Shuttle Launch Safety Program for almost 30 years. It is usable (via a LAN) by over 2000 NASA employees at the Kennedy Space Center and 11 000 contractors. SGOS supports over 800 models comprised of several hundred thousand lines of code and over 1000 Model Control Procedures.
