That means the flight control team trains in parallel, seeing and hearing exactly what they would throughout the mission.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of our major goals is to make the data they see on their displays look like the real vehicle,\u201d Lauderdale said. \u201cWe also simulate the near space and deep space networks, including all the communication delays. It\u2019s all about realism.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>That realism is powered by a complex software system developed in collaboration with partners like Lockheed Martin.
