It probably refers to a "Standard Data Processor," i.e. an onboard
general-purpose computer.(An IBM 386 with 4MB and some kind of "real-time" Unix variation, for anyone that cares.)
The original SSF plans called for a couple dozen or so of these,
networked; recent designs were down to 7-10; it now sounds like they may have cut back even further, if thermal, power, and life support control are now crowded on to one SDP...
