Abstract:
When processing a space vehicle for launch, the test team needs to know how the vehicle's interconnecting hardware is configured just before a test begins. A cable disconnected in one system for troubleshooting can inadvertently affect another system-one under test. This has happened multiple times over the life of the Shuttle Program. An onboard system that can rapidly and accurately determine the configuration of interconnecting hardware and is capable of including all electrical interconnections would provide the pretest visibility required by the test team.
