ON-BOARD SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY
VAX IN SPACE
Sunday morning at Mission Elapsed Time 0 days, 4 hours,
11 minutes, and 55 seconds at 11:45:09 am local time, the first
VAX in-space, booted VMS. Controllers at Goddard Space Flight
Center report that all sensors are nominal and that the
verification and checkout phase of the mission is proceeding
normally.
The computer is a specially-built, militarized VAX 6210
manufactured by Raytheon Equipment Division. The boot device is
a read/write optical disk manufactured by Sundstrand Avionics
Systems Division. The system was flight-qualified by the
Engineering Division of Goddard Space Flight Center.
Controllers at Goddard Space Flight Center also report, based
on Discovery's orbital velocity of 17,438 mph, that VMS is now
the fastest commercially-available operating system.
