Problem Description
When a missile is launched at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC), there are over 400,000 control points that need
to be monitored in real-time to assure that the launch system is working properly and is going as planned
making this one of the largest scada systems in the world.

Conclusion
data_distribution_service_dds was successfully deployed and used during the first launch of the Orion spacecraft. DDS was able to intelligently distributed updates from thousands of sensors in real-time without a huge impact the network.
DDS was also configure with QoS parameters (
durability and
durability_service )
to store all the data for later analysis
and help filter (i.e., downsampling) the data for viewing on the HMI Stations in the flight control room.
