An team of engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., uses a suite of design tools called PARSEC, short for the Preliminary Analysis of Revolutionary Space Exploration Concepts. The Marshall Center-developed software enables engineers to share design ideas, access the same highly technical information and see the latest test results -- all from their personal computers. The new system was created to support the NASA design teams charged with engineering the spacecraft of tomorrow -- advanced vehicles to realize NASA's Vision for Space Exploration.
