Abstract :
A data system technology is described which relies on standby redundancy, automated flexibility, and extensive use of LSI devices to achieve the desired mission results. The STAR computer is the heart of the system and is truly an advanced next-generation spacecraft computer. Extensive use of large-scale integrated circuits has made it possible to implement the needed complexity throughout the advanced data system for the Grand Tour mission.
