Guidance and Control System
The Guidance and Control System consisted of a number of sub-systems for in-flight navigation and guidance. This article gives a high-level overview of the sub-systems: detailed information use will be on individual pages for those systems.
Stabilisation and Control System (SCS)
ORDEAL
Entry Monitoring System
The Entry Monitoring System is used by the crew to monitor the entry trajectory flown by the PGNCS and allows the pilot to fly a manual re-entry if required.
The main EMS panel includes a velocity/load-factor display, range-to-go display, 0.05g indicator and roll/attitude indicator.
