The company, which is also providing integrated system health management and mission ground operations support, is “ready for CDR” says a program official.Display - on display (Guy Norris)Although the crew interface on show at NSS here in Colorado Springs is not an exact version of the Orion display, it is said to be close to the design going into CDR.
