Just had an interesting review class on the Command and Data Handling system of the Space Station.
In particular, we focused on the consequences of C&C MDM transitions: those are the computers that control the ISS, meaning that the are at the top of the computer hierarchy.
Pretty important, as you can imagine: that’s why we have three, just in case. Depending on how many we loose and how functionality is recovered, there might be a need to reconfigure the com system to recover space-to-ground audio capability and talk to mission control.
So, that’s what I practiced today. The facility you see in the picture is a simulator of the US lab. Physically it’s not very high-fidelity – there are other higher-fidelity mockups – but brain-wise it functions just like the Station.
