The Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory is a facility at Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas . It is used to test and verify new Software , as well as new Avionics , for the Space Shuttle before they are installed and flown. The testing process is extensive and rigorous; the software on the Shuttle is often considered to be among the most bug-free of operational systems. The laboratory contains a complete avionics mock-up of a Shuttle, Designated OV-095. Whilst only a skeleton, all the electronics are identical in position and type to those used on the Shuttle; it is a sufficiently faithful replica that crews often prefer to use it to train on, rather than the actual simulators. |
