Shuttle Avionics Integration LaboratoryThe SAIL (Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory) has been established to provide direct in-line support to the space shuttle program. The SAIL provides a central facility where the avionics and related flight hardware, flight software, and flight procedures will be brought together for integration and verification testing. The basic approach is to utilize qualifiable avionics flight hardware to the greatest extent possible. Where this is not feasible, flight hardware simulators are developed that provide the electrical/electronic termination, stimulation, and signal interface to the flight hardware that it would actually encounter in the shuttle vehicle. This paper discusses the existing laboratory configuration supporting the approach and landing test phase of the shuttle program, the operational experience gained to date, and the design of the laboratory elements to support the orbital flight test phase.
