1981, STS-1 & STS-2 Mission Control-Console back-lit displays. These 16 overlays are back-lit displays used on the Flight Dynamics Officer's console. The lights monitored key events on-board the spacecraft and monitored computer processing activity by the Mission Operations Computer (MOC) for other events or possible contingencies. They represent variable event overlays or in the vernacular of Flight Controllers "Digital Display Drives" (D.D.D.s). These particular D.D.D.s were utilized on early Shuttle flights (2 are noted "FLIGHT 001" for STS-1). They were utilized to support trajectory operations for all phases of flight: Prelaunch/Ascent phase, Orbital Operations phase; and Deorbit/Entry phase. On the flight Dynamics Officer's console, they served as a Heads-Up Display feature with color coded lighting for significant telemetered vehicle events impacting the trajectory plus health and status of ground trajectory processors supporting number crunching in MOC. (RTLS = Return to Landing Site, AOA = Abort Once Around, SSME = Space Shuttle Main Engine, etc.). Additional notes accompany the cards along with a COA and copy of NASA memo on D.D.D.s. Also original red file book that house the D.D.D.s.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
