The KSC Simulation System

The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Simulation System is a computing system capable of large-scale mathematical modeling for real-time simulation of the behavior of a complex system that could include many different interacting machines, instruments, and/or computers along with human operators. Developed for simulating space-shuttle launches to ensure the readiness of launching systems and personnel, the KSC Simulation System could also be adapted to other (including commercial) applications in which there are requirements for real-time simulation of systems represented by large mathematical models.
