Special Features:

Orbital real-time processor (ortp) is central to the range safety/range control subsystem function. Vehicle dynamics as measured and as predicted are processed and output to other rangecontrol functions for use in subsequent computations and generation of displays

Properties:

A computer which processes information represented by combinations of discrete or discontinuous data. It is a computer for performing sequences of arithmetic and logical operations, not only on external data but also on its own internally stored instructions, in contrast to a continuous data, analog computer. It may be designed for specific and/or combination operation, such as asynchronous, automatic, fixed program, and the like. May include handheld computer. Excludes peripheral hardware.
