Description
The Checkout and Launch Control System (CLCS) is a NASA-led effort to design, develop, and implement a new Launch Processing System (LPS) at Kennedy Space Center (KSC). This re-engineering of hardware and software will support processing the Space Shuttle and future launch vehicles in the Launch Control Center (LCC), Hypergolic Maintenance Facility (HMF), Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF), Shuttle Avionics Integration Lab (SAIL) at Johnson Space Center (JSC), Dryden, and the Main Engine Processing Facility (SSMEPF).
CLCS is a distributed system utilizing state of the art technology in both hardware and software development. CLCS consists of four major systems: Simulation System (SIM), Real Time Processing System (RTPS), Business and Support Information Service (BASIS), and Shuttle Data Center (SDC). The goal of CLCS is to provide a system that will process the Shuttle more efficiently as well as reduce cost over the current system. To achieve these goals, the CLCS architecture will strive to provide standardization, rapid turnaround, automation, local control, multi-operation support, integrated displays, and desktop simulation using a flexible configured system.
