Two highly reliable codes termed "Modified b-adjacent interleaving codes" provide fail-safe operation of launch processing and control system in which common memory is coordination point for interconnection of up to 64 minicomputers. Codes detect and correct bit errors in computer data transmission.
Analytical approach for development burst error correction and detection cyclic codes does not require shortening techniques.
This paper presents a functional description of the Launch Processing System, which provides automatic ground checkout and control of the Space Shuttle launch site and airborne systems, with emphasis placed on the Checkout, Control, and Monitor Subsystem. Hardware and software modular design concepts for the distributed computer system are reviewed relative to performing system tests, launch operations control, and status monitoring during ground operations. The communication network design, which uses a Common Data Buffer interface to all computers to allow computer-to-computer communication, is discussed in detail.
