Spacecraft Command Language (SCL)

Spacecraft Command Language (SCL) is a powerful real-time expert system for complete spacecraft control - from testing to in-flight command and control to ground operations. This integrated approach to expert system technology reduces development time and cost, simplifies onboard and ground operations, and enhances reusability.

SCL represents both a powerful programming language and a software system that implements that language. SCL is a fifth-generation language, fully integrated with a rule-based expert system, enabling users to optimize command control and monitoring functions to simplify their development. The SCL software system is both generic and portable. One software system can support test equipment, ground stations, and test vehicles, reducing the amount of custom code that you must produce for each application.
