REDUCING MAINTENANCE COSTS ON THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / NASA and Lockheed Martin Telemetry & Instrumentation have jointly developed a new
data acquisition system for the Space Shuttle program. The system incorporates new
technologies which will greatly reduce manpower requirements by automating many of the
functions necessary to prepare the data acquisition system for each shuttle launch. This
new system, the Automated Data Acquisition System (ADAS), is capable of configuring
itself for each measurement without operator intervention. The key components of the
ADAS are the Universal Signal Conditioning Amplifier (USCA), the Transducer
Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS), and the Data Acquisition System (DAS 450). The ADAS is
currently being delivered and installed at Kennedy Space Center. NASA and Telemetry &
Instrumentation are actively pursuing commercialization of the ADAS and its associated
products which will be available during 1996.
