The ER-2 Navigation Recorder (NAVREC) is a general-purpose data
system designed for in-flight housekeeping support. It is housed
in the E-bay, behind the Q-bay. The functions of this computer
facility include:
Real-time processing of housekeeping (avionics and environmental
sensor) data.
Real-time distribution of housekeeping data to experiments.
Logging of housekeeping data for post-flight use.
Broadcast of timing information for in-flight synchronization of
payloads.
Archiving and post-fight distribution of housekeeping data and
derived products via the Data Systems Engineering Office.
Experimenters intending to utilize the NAVREC services should
identify their requirements to Airborne Science in the early
stages of mission planning or instrument design. This will
ensure that changes or upgrades in the NAVREC system are
coordinated with experimenter ?s requirements and the support
staff is prepared for the experimenter's requirements.
