Integration of SLS Software Test Beds

Markeeva Morgan, left, avionics hardware lead for SLS Core Stage element office, and Walter Robinson, command and data handling hardware lead of the Data Systems Development Team, integrate the software test beds into the laboratory. SLS will be the most powerful launch vehicle ever built, and it requires the most capable flight software in the history of human spaceflight. Having this avionics hardware in place early allows the SLS team -- both NASA and Boeing -- to accelerate the flight software development.
