FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

The Checkout and Launch Control System (CLCS) will replace the current
Launch Processing System (LPS), which is 1970's technology, with
state-of-the-art technology. The best products from industry and
government agencies will be combined to provide a showcase Checkout and
Launch Control System at the Kennedy Space Center. A layered system
architecture will be employed to improve safety, reliability, and
quality. The system will deliver a higher level of knowledge than
previously possible by including additional data, health, and status in
the decision process. Vehicle configuration from other data bases (e.g.,
electrical connectivity) along with more complete definitions of valid
system states will be combined to determine the actual end-item status.
This final status will be much more reliable since all pertinent
parameters are entered into the calculation. In addition to improved
reliability, a new constraint manager will enhance the sophistication of
system control. This new constraint manager will provide surveillance
over existing processes to enable appropriate action to be taken for
system failures or unplanned excursions. All data samples of all
pertinent data throughout the test will be utilized in lieu of selected
or spot checks. The constraint manager will ensure that when a test is
completed it met all the necessary criteria for successful completion.
Discrepancies will be reported and handled prior to test completion. In
addition, the following advantages will be achieved by the CLCS project:
reduce program life-cycle costs, assure processing support for the Space
Shuttle manifest, reduce the burden of changing hardware and software,
adapt to support current and future Shuttle upgrades and future launch
vehicle projects, provide a system which minimizes the number of
personnel required to process the Space Shuttle vehicles on a daily
basis, provide a system which minimizes operations and maintenance
costs, increase the current systemÕs fail-operational capability (not
necessarily automatically), minimize the amount of hardware and
associated failures in hazardous environments, minimize the time
required to repair hardware (or software) which requires a human to
enter a hazardous environment, minimize the time required to build a
test configuration software set, minimize the number of personnel and
time required for the configuration and load process, reduce the system
complexity, provide a distributed simulation capability in real-time
from the control room during test, minimize the number of internal data
types., improve the commonality of the JSC and KSC databanks, and
increase the availability and reliability beyond that of LPS.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:

The CLCS hardware architecture is predominantly off-the-shelf,
UNIX-based workstations and servers connected to Asynchronous Transfer
Mode networks. The majority of the CLCS equipment will occupy the Launch
Control Center second and third floor at KSC. This equipment supports
processing of the Space Shuttle Orbiter and its elements from initial
powered-up testing through launch, including sustaining engineering and
application software development and test. Additional sets of equipment
are located in the Space Station Processing facility in the Cargo
Integrated Test Equipment area used for Orbiter-Payload Interface
testing, Dryden Flight Research Center used for Orbiter post-landing
deservicing, and at JSC for Shuttle/CLCS integrated testing. The CLCS

system. The two system centers, one in the LC39 area and one in the KSC
Industrial area, are linked together through a common channel interface
to allow intercommunication. The OIS-D system is interfaced to other KSC
voice systems or to other NASA centers by either a T-1 (1.544Mbs)
digital or analog interface. The major hardware components are Group
Processor Assembly (GPA) Rack, Data Transmission Equipment (DTE) Rack,
Central Summing Network (CSN), End Instruments (EI), Technical Control
Workstations (Tech Control), Record and Playback Subsystem (RPS), and
Offnet Processor Subsystem (OPS).

UNIQUE INFORMATION:

OIS-D is a criticality 1S rated system meaning that failure of OIS-D to
operate properly during the presence of a hazardous condition could
cause loss of life and or vehicle.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:

The major hardware components are the GPA, DTE, CSN, EI, TC, RPS and
OPS. Brief descriptions of all hardware components follow:

[Group Processor Assembly (GPA) Rack]{.underline} - The GPA is the
principle rack assembly, it provides the interface between the user End
Instruments (EI) and the Central Summing Network (CSN). Each GPA can
support up to 119 EIs, they are installed at each major operational KSC
facility, and they provide the first level of audio summation.

[Data Transmission Equipment (DTE) Rack]{.underline} - The DTE racks are
used to support transmission on fiber between the GPA and CSN for
distances over 50 feet. The equipment converts an electrical T3 to an
optical signal and back to an electrical T3.

[Central Summing Network (CSN)]{.underline} - The CSN performs the
second level voice conferencing, summing all voice contributions from
the GPAs. Each system center has its own CSN. The CSN creates a global
sum of digital audio traffic by successively adding pairs of 512 channel
DS3 inputs until a 512 channel global sum is produced.

[End Instruments (EI)]{.underline} - The EI is an operator controlled,
multichannel, microprocessor-based device that provides the interface to
the GPA. They communicate with the GPA over 19-AWG twisted pair at 130
kbps bipolar bit stream. Descriptions of the six types of instruments
are provided below.

\(1\) 51D - The 51D EI is a multimonitor, 19-inch rack mounted, single
user-8 channel /dual user-4 channel unit for controlled environment
(indoor) use.

\(2\) 52D - The 52D EI is a multimonitor, 19-inch rack mounted, single
user-4 channel /dual user-2 channel unit for controlled environment
(indoor) use.

\(3\) 53D - The 53D EI is functionally equivalent to the 52D, however,
it is contained in a sealed, purgable, deep-drawn aluminum housing for
use in hazardous environments. The unit is designed to be wall mounted
or mounted on a portable cart.

\(4\) 57D - The 57D is a rack mounted speaker monitor, it can be used
with a 51D or 52D unit. The unit is muted when the EI user is
transmitting.

\(5\) 58D - The 58D is a wall mounted speaker monitor, it can be used
with a 53D unit , but not in outdoor locations or hazardous
environments.

\(6\) 59D - The 59D is a desk-mounted speaker monitor for use in office
areas.

[Technical Control Workstations (Tech Control)]{.underline} - Tech
Control provides overall monitoring and control capability for the OIS-D
system operators. The Intel-based workstations are running UNIX System V
with X Windows as the windowing environment. The machines are linked
together over an ethernet to the CSNs and OPS.

[Record and Playback Subsystem (RPS)]{.underline} - RPS provides
continuous recording of all channels in OIS-D by combining inputs from
both the LC39 and IA CSN. Three digital recording units with two digital
recorders in each unit will allow for recording of 1000 channels with
100% redundancy. Analog tape dubbing is provided through a separate
playback recorder and analog cassette decks.

[Offnet Processor Subsystem (OPS)]{.underline} - OPS is a redundant
T1/T3 conferencing voice switch that provides both T1 interfaces out of
OIS-D and individual audio channel interfaces through channel banks.
This provides for off-center communications through both Nascom and TMS.
The interface is also used to bring radio-nets into OIS-D. OPS has a T3
interface with the two system center CSNs and has an input and output
capability of 92 T1 links. Currently 26 channels banks and 38 T1s are
being used to provide the off-site and audio interfaces.

and many other distributed locations

SECURITY LEVEL: 2

HIRING AGREEMENTS: N/A

HOURS OF OPERATION: 24 hours x 5 days/week; Weekend call-in

24 x 7 during major tests, launch, and landings

OWNERSHIP: Government Owned

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

The Kennedy Space Center Paging and Area Warning System (P/AWS) is a
center wide system designed to provide emergency, operational and
administrative announcements to KSC Personnel. The system also provides
a series of warning signals for various emergency conditions. The Area
Warning signal is used to precede evacuation instructions and/or
emergency directives. The Weather Warning Signal precedes weather status
announcements. Along with the audio announcements, the P/AWS provides
flashing beacon and strobe lights in high noise areas. P/AW is installed
in approximately 150 buildings and facilities across KSC.

UNIQUE INFORMATION: None

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:

The P/AWS is controlled from two identical digital control systems, one
located in the Launch Control Center (LCC) and the other in the
Communications Distribution and Switching Center (CD&SC). The control
system in the LCC system provides selective paging capability for the
LC-39 area, while the CD&SC system provides selective paging capability
for all buildings in the KSC Industrial Area. Paging control panels are
located in the LCC and other control areas throughout KSC. All panels
are wired to their associated control system. The two systems are linked
together to facilitate all area paging.

Each paging area (building/facility) has a subsystem for its own audio
distribution and warning lights (if equipped). The associated P/AWS
Control System interfaces to these local audio distribution subsystems
through a standardized P/AWS interface called a control tray. The audio
distribution system takes audio and control signals from the control
tray, and distributes them to the speaker networks with one or more
power amplifiers. The control tray offers audio feedback and control
status back to the control system.

The hazardous operational areas of KSC utilize redundant P/AWS systems.
Such areas will have identical redundant paging networks. Some of these
areas have reserve power systems as well.

The system consists of 50 warning beacons, over 300 power amplifiers,
and over 3000 speakers located throughout KSC.

P/AWS control system is a KSC designed system utilizing both custom and
COTS hardware. Software for the system was written in a mixture of 'C'
and Assembly language.

between the KSC OIS-D System and the NASCOM 2000 Interface which routes
KSC circuits to the various other NASA Centers.

UNIQUE INFORMATION: None

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:

The System is comprised of General DataComm Megamux Transport Management
System Multiplexers and Fibermux Magnum 100 Mbit per second fiber optic
multiplexers. The system is located at the CD&SC, with multiplexers
throughout the primary communications locations at KSC and CCAS. The
VDMS is monitored by system control computers, which automatically
monitor system performance. These computers also control the system. The
TMS and Magnum systems are designed to be highly reliable, and will
automatically reroute circuits around system failures to the full extent
possible. This auto routing feature is essential due to the critical
nature of the VDMS function. The network consists of approximately
twenty GDC multiplexers fed by eleven Fibermux nodes on four 100
Mbit/sec backbone loops.

switcher in the LCC allows for the input of 192 cameras to be sent out
to any (or all) of 512 output destinations. Also in the LCC are
recording decks, timing equipment for time registration on the video,
and all other remote camera controls. There are remote controls for the
video switcher assigned outputs located in the Headquarters Building and
in the CIF Building.

Approximately 75 Video Cameras and their associated pan and tilt
apparatus are connected per pad to the PTCR via the NASA designed TV-39
cables. These cables consist of coaxial and audio pair conductors that
carry sync and control signals to the site and provide the video and
monitoring path back to the PTCR. In the PTCR, the Camera Control Unit
(NASA built) dissects the TV-39 signals, separating control from video.
Baseband video signals are WDM'd onto fiber optic cables for
transmission back to the television control center. In the LCC, the
video is demodulated from the carrier frequencies amplified and fed into
the Grass Valley Video Switcher, and directly fed to over 500 monitors
and test locations. The switch has 192 inputs and 512 outputs. The
switch is controlled in the LCC. The switch has a per channel bandwidth
of 8 Mhz and is expandable to 512 in by 512 out but due to limited floor
space in the LCC, it cannot be expanded at this time. Approximately five
channels of the switcher or output are fed to BCDS for general
distribution. Particular camera signals are sent to particular users via
fiber using PCO E/O And O/E transmitters and receivers.

### A.5.26 Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) Transmission System (FTXS) & Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Transmission System (ATXS) (Option 3A, 3B)

ADDRESS/LOCATION: KSC LC39 and Industrial Areas

SECURITY LEVEL: 2

HIRING AGREEMENTS: N/A

HOURS OF OPERATION: 16 hours x 5 days/week; Weekend call-in

> 24 x 7 during major tests, launch, and landings

OWNERSHIP: Government Owned

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

The FDDI Transmission System (FTXS) provides a high speed, fault
tolerant, KSC wide FDDI backbone for LAN traffic. Asynchronous Transfer
Mode (ATM) Transmission System (ATXS) is currently in development to
provide KSC with additional communication's backbone capability.

UNIQUE INFORMATION: None

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:

The system is composed of 3Com Lanplex 5000 FDDI hub concentrators
forming LC-39, Industrial Area, and CCAS service areas which are
interconnected via Bay Networks BLN-2 routers. Since only bridging is
performed, the FTXS is protocol independent. 3Com Lanplex 6000s are
replacing the obsolete 5000 series.

The ATM Transmission System (ATXS) is implemented as a three switch
pilot network which will be expanded through 2002 to a network of four
10Gbps backbone switches and 20 facility switches. The ATXS will serve
as the KSC wide backbone for ATM communications. Applications under
development include MPEG video distribution and migration of LAN traffic
to ATM. Migration of other legacy technologies to ATM will be studied
via the pilot network implementation.

### A.5.27 Fiber Optic Systems (Option 3A, 3B)

ADDRESS/LOCATION: All areas of KSC

SECURITY LEVEL: 2

HIRING AGREEMENTS: N/A

HOURS OF OPERATION: 16 hours x 5 days/week; Weekend call-in

> 24 x 7 during major tests, launch, and landings

OWNERSHIP: Government Owned

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

This section describes fiber optic systems other than the
T-Carrier/SONET, FTXS, and ATXS systems.

These Fiber optic systems provide various services for different users.
Included in this category are: the wideband fiber optic transmission
system, frequency division data multiplexers, wavelength division
multiplexers, the remote monitor and alarm system, high data rate
transmission equipment (50 Mbps), and the S-Band uplink monitor (which
allows verification of Orbiter uplink signals).

UNIQUE INFORMATION: 1550 nm transmission on 50/125 μm multimode fiber

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:

The wideband Fiber Optic Transmission System transmits RS-170 or NTSC
color video signal, an analog signal within a 12-megahertz bandwidth, or
asynchronous digital data up to 8 Mb/s NRZ-L depending on application.
The Fiber Optic Transmission System provides a balanced 124-ohm or
unbalanced 75-ohm electrical interface for the optical transmission of
video, analog, or digital data signals over a single fiber. The system
processes a 1-volt input signal between 10 Hz and 10 MHz and transmits
it optically at either 1300 or 1550 nanometers via ILD or LED to the
receive location where the signal is restored to the original electrical
input signal. ILD transmitters are used in conjunction with optical
dividers to create multipoint circuits.

The frequency division data multiplexer can accommodate eight channels
(four channels from 0 to 128 Kbps and four channels from 0 to 512 Kbps).
Asynchronous data, either balanced or unbalanced can be supported at any
data rate within the range using RS-422 voltage levels or a one volt
peak-to-peak variant. The aggregate output of the Multiplexer is
transported via the fiber optic wideband transmission system.

The wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) equipment doubles the capacity
of the existing fiber optics cable plant. WDMs are installed at
facilities throughout KSC to enhance the optical fiber's capacity. The
WDMs multiplex signals at 1300 and 1500 nm. WDMs are primarily used with
the wideband fiber optic transmission system.

The Combined Data/Video Switch (CDVS) is a dual 100 x 100 switcher
located in the CD&SC. The switch is used to distribute data and video
signals associated with KSC payloads processing. An additional 30 x 30
matrix is used as the KSC off-site routing switch in support of shuttle
processing, launch and landing video. The CDVS has a 30 MHz bandwidth.

The remote monitor and alarm system allows remote monitoring of several
fiber optic based transmission systems (T-Carrier/SONET, Wideband Fiber
Optic Transmission System, and the Frequency Division Data
Multiplexers). The central collection point is located in the CD&SC. 41
remote locations are monitored.

The fiber optic wideband transmission system has more than 1200
transmitter/receiver pairs that service more than 35 facilities on KSC
and CCAFS. At present, eight facilities are equipped with frequency
division data multiplexers. Two full duplex 50-Mbps data links exists
between the O&C and OPFs 1 and 2 and between the O&C and OPF-3. The
S-Band Uplink Monitor transmits a 2GHz analog signal between Pads A and
B and the OPFs. The system utilizes singlemode lasers and 2X2 optical
couplers.
