Launch Control System / Spaceport Command and Control System

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is currently developing the next generation launch vehicle that will take American astronauts, from American soil, even further into space. Our project for this semester dealt with the Spaceport Command and Control System (SCCS). SCCS provides a means of communication between the Firing Rooms and ground support equipment for the vehicle on the launch pad. For this internship, we became part of the Computer Systems Hardware Team. This team of engineers handle the computer and networking aspects of SCCS. During this internship, we learned about Linux operating systems and network configuration
