Computers and Data Management


The system for storing and transferring information essential to operating the ISS has been functioning at all stages of assembly. From a single module to a large complex of elements from many international partners, the system provides control of the ISS from either U.S., Russian, Canadian, and soon the European and Japanese segments of the ISS.
Data bus architecture consists of
100+ MIL-STD-1553B data buses, 60+ computers into which software can be loaded as necessary, 1,200+ remote terminals, 190 payload remote terminals, 600+ international partner and firmware controller devices, and 90+ unique types of remote devices.
