A screenshot of VisualSim’s RapidIO simulationCables line the core stage of NASA’s Space Launch System, connecting flight-guidance avionics to the Orion capsule, ground control, and other systems. NASA’s need for higher-speed onboard electronic and communication networks drove the adoption of the Serial RapidIO communication protocol, but only after the Space Agency funded the development of a computer simulation of the Serial RapidIO standard by Mirabilis Design.
