GROWTH OF AUTOMATION IN PRELAUNCH CHECKOUT FOR SPACE VEHICLES,

Abstract

Increased automation or mechanization in the factoryto-launch space vehicle preparation sequence can be expected to reduce test data reduction times, improve control, and reduce hold times. All of these lead to a better coordinated, more effective system to do a higher quality job. The report outlines the potential for this automation growth. (Author)
