radiate off heat in an earth environment but we tried to make it physically representative uh the wheels and the control system for steering and the suspension system is all relevant although we had to robust some of thedesign up to work in 1G remember we've got one 16g on the moon but to build the
But the last time we saw, it was about 340,000 pounds. The control system that we interface with is very smart.
Also as a city, in the Department of Transportation, we run the Automated Transportation and Surveillance and Control System , the ATSACS system. And if any of you saw the movie "The Italian Job," you probably remember that system where we have engineers who can actually control signal timing.
We said, for $150 million, we will develop six satellites, a launch system, nine kinds of user receivers, a ground control system , and an extensive test program. It was one heck of a bargain.
Or was it just kind of idling just waiting for it? There is no attitude control system on the Lander. So that's why you need the fly wheels.
Your highway system is mostly state driven. Your air traffic control system is actually run by the federal government, even though they're commercial providers that offer the airline service. And so, we have this sort of chart of control over our transportation system.
ready to move onto the next thing. The air traffic control system has basically been the same since World War II. And meanwhile, the rate of change in terms of where people are moving, how people are choosing
And originally the sort of assignment from ONR was make this thing fully autonomous with absolutely minimal dependence on a pilot or a human operator. There's a supervisory control system that can give them input into those things.
But the last time we saw, it was about 340,000 pounds. There's a CAN bus control system , all very clever.
It's called SPHERES, which is an acronym. It's a technology development program of control system development for satellites. And it's been on board for 11 years now.
and cl another world record and uh once I got out of the atmosphere and and I was able to switch to the reaction control system I ran that system completely out of gas as it stopped rolling so I was lucky as hell again you have any advice for people about just keeping their
Nazi rocket scientists play a big part in this story. And the attitude and orbit control system for the satellites is pretty precise.
And this is true. So what we have is a whole control system which includes a Windows PC. Guess what? You're already starting to laugh.
If we go back to the FAA, there is-- and you and I have spoken about this before-- there has been a long-standing effort to modernize the air traffic control system . And I'll just say, it's generally known that the computers were basically invented in the Stone Age, which is roughly the 1980s,
So if you want something down from station, you're not going to get it. It's called attitude determination control system , but these are little teeny motors that you think when a motor turns on, it gives you a little bit of torque.
Big problem. But of course, walking around on two legs is unstable too. It requires a command and control system which most animals don't have. I mean, part of the whole thing about human intelligence is that we're on an already unstable platform.
Why? Because we ship on time. So we have our source control system .
Why? Because we ship on time. No matter which crappy source control system you use, you check in the master, you're done.
When, for example, a micrometeorite punches a hole in a thermal panel causing it to blow out, ground has to understand how to reroute the thermal control system and keep the vehicle safe. When, for instance-- you won't see it here-- there is an ammonia leak in the thermal control system , which basically forces you to shut down a whole power
There were ways to compensate for failures in the control system .
And the other thing is to design a control system which doesn't predicate the shape of the objects.
more I that was his idea there uh interactive motion control system he designed that
These things are rewarded by an out-of-control system .
And there is a famous guy that keeps saying that he's hacked into a control system for several United flights.
So here's my first commandment-- thou shalt use a source code control system .
because the genes that were once turned on correctly in my young cells, that that control system , these
the main engines that use for lift-off, environmental control system -- which is the life support system-- the computers.
So that includes the flight management system, the flight control system , the software that's controlling engines, and all the system integration on the plane.
You can see the main thrusters that you see at the bottom, the reaction control system are the pairs of thrusters on either side off of the CG
He's founder and director of MIT's Deep Water Archaeology Research Group, focused on exploring the deepest parts of the world's oceans. As a research engineer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, he developed the control system and pilot interface for the Jason submersible vehicle. His most recent book, which you will find scattered around-- "Digital Apollo"-- explores how human pilots and automated systems worked together to put a man on the moon.
At Ames, we're doing the next generation air traffic control system , so it affects everybody.
And, you know, our view is culture is a social control system And there is nothing tougher than a social...
floor with all the other countries. The AIs themselves, it's it's kind of a single point of failure like central uh, control system where,
You're talking like a walking pace, which is very, very unusual for space flight. Yes? During the air time after the bounce, was there any attitude control from the control system ? Or was it just kind of idling just waiting for it?
And by I would say in 1972 or 1973, we developed our own system called DACS, Digital Animation Control System .
understand how to reroute the thermal control system and keep the vehicle safe. When, for instance-- you won't see it here-- there is an ammonia leak in the thermal control system , which basically forces you to shut down a whole power channel because you can't keep it cool anymore, what do you do when your station is now at one eighth less power?
the entire way that they produce food for you and I was deplorable. So, they completely revamped their entire quality control system and over the decades, it led to some system
W Campbell would publish stories that would deal with, you know, new fighter aircrafts, superfighter aircraft with a pilot jacked into the control system working on a hallucinogenic
