Stennis Software is Built for Future Growth
Summary
“It is because the community of people using this software tell us about all the new, cool things happening and how they want to use the tool.” Created as a standard method for collecting rocket propulsion test data, NDAS is proving to be a building block to acquire, display, and process various datasets. “They are always willing to improve it, to make it more applicable to a wider audience.” NDAS will be the primary data acquisition and control systems to support testing and development projects related to NASA’s Orion spacecraft. Devin Rios Ogle is a contractor software engineer at NASA Marshall, responsible for integrating and upgrading the data acquisition system in the testing areas. Marcus Jackson, a contractor instrumentation and control engineer at NASA Marshall, echoed Ogle’s assessment of NDAS, noting that it has allowed the center to condense multiple systems into a single package that meets the team’s unique needs. “Ultimately, NDAS provides us with an excellent software package that is built specifically for the kind of work performed here and at other test stands across the United States,” said Jackson.
