Altair Space Mission Control Systems are in use by several major launch vehicle manufacturers and satellite operators. They combine an open, distributed architecture with extensive use of generic, reusable software modules and object-oriented databases containing the state space representations of the vehicle(s) under control. Advantages include easy expandability, rapid reconfiguration, real time multi-tasking and the potential for up to total automation (the "lights out control center"). Software prerequisites include UNIX or open VMS operating systems. Hardware prerequisites are one or more UNIX or VMS based workstations with preferably at least 64MB internal memory, a 1GB hard disk, 4mm DAT drive, and a 19" high resolution color monitor.
