One of the constraints on previous efforts to modernize the Shuttle LPS was the requirement to retain the computer language GOAL(Ground Operations Aerospace Language). GOAL is a KSC-unique language which has driven checkout and validation requirements due to its design. A major concern about GOAL was that simple displays are created from the same programs that execute critical commands. As a result, even the simplest of changes require rigorous and exhaustive testing to insure the critical command function remains intact. The LPS Upgrades Review Team chartered by Sieck concluded that the new launch processing system needed to be free of the constraints imposed by GOAL.  2, record 1, English, - ground%20operational%20aerospace%20language

Le système de programme est divisé en deux parties principales, logiciels de vol et de sol. Le logiciel de sol est écrit en langage GOAL (développé pour le KSC dès 1970) mais sera au fur et à mesure transféré en C++ dans le cadre de la modernisation du matériel. Le LPS deviendra le CLCS, Checkout Launch & Control System.  1, record 1, French, - langage%20GOAL

Environmental Control Systems Trainer. Additional training in the operation of the environmental control system was provided by the environmental control systems trainer which was a heavy shell mock-up with a prototype spacecraft environmental system. The device used was delivered to NASA in November 1960 and installed in a man-rated vacuum chamber at the U. S. Naval Air Crew Equipment Laboratory in Philadelphia(fig. 10-1(1)). During December of 1960 and January of 1961, the astronauts participated in a program of system familiarization that included being exposed to a simulated reentry heat pulse and approximately 2 hours of the expected postlanding temperature. During these runs, the astronauts wore the pressure suits and became familiar with function of the suits when associated with the environmental control system. However, since a provision had been made for simulating the suit function in the procedures trainer, this type of training was not considered essential This was particularly true since the astronauts received further first-hand familiarization to the environmental control system by participating in the preflight checkout of the spacecraft environmental control system at the launch site.  2, record 2, English, - man%2Drated%20vacuum%20chamber
