Talk:MASSCOMP

NASA
Back in the 80's we used them at the Ocean Drilling Program for seismic data collection during site surveys. Many other US oceanographic institutions were using them for that. According to the salesman, NASA was replacing all the consoles in Mission Control with Masscomps. I believe NASA went to PCs since then.

I was at NASA when they started using MASSCOMP computers in the Systems Division of the Mission Operations Directorate beginning in about 1984. There was talk of deploying MASSCOMP workstations to Mission Control and the various back rooms, but then the Challenger disaster happened. Although Challenger was a tragedy, it gave NASA time to redesign many of their systems and they never followed through on the idea to deploy MASSCOMP workstations.Spikearl (talk) 16:05, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Since this article notes the acquisition of Concurrent Computer Corporation by Masscomp, I edited the article on Concurrent Computer Corporation to also note that acquisition, and link to this one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.153.129.137 (talk) 14:03, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
