text: These boundaries can vary from prelaunch predictions due to changing atmospheric conditions and variations in SRB and main engine performance. Using this real-time information, a computer and software program called the Abort Region Determinator (ARD) allows MCC to predict the underspeed that will result from a loss of performance (engine failure, throttle lockup, degraded thrust, etc.). This information is then used to predict the actual abort mode boundaries on which the real-time voice calls are made. These boundaries vary from pre-flight predicted boundaries.
