- Project Description
- A team of people at NASA ARC, KSC, JPL, and MSFC developed a prototype ground-based diagnostic system that was demonstrated during the pre-launch period of the Ares I-X launch vehicle. The prototype combines three tools: IMS, TEAMS-RT, and SHINE. It has the ability to detect and isolate faults in the Ares I-X first-stage thrust vector control and t...Morehe associated ground hydraulics. It monitored live data while the vehicle was in the Vehicle Assembly Building and while it was on Launch Pad 39B, right up until the October 28, 2009 launch. The prototype was not certified, but we sought to ensure that all of the software we used could be certified, and we wrote a certification plan.
