Case Study: NASA develops Orion cockpit displays with DiSTI GL Studio

NASA builds Orion cockpit displays with DiSTI’s GL Studio for a single network supporting all spacecraft data and communications

NASA, a leading force in aerospace exploration, faced the daunting challenge of developing the cockpit displays for its next-generation Orion spacecraft. The task required creating sophisticated, high-fidelity displays that could work seamlessly across interconnected systems in the harsh conditions of space. To meet these stringent criteria, NASA selected the GL Studio toolkit from vendor DiSTI.

DiSTI's GL Studio solution was chosen for its OpenGL-based 3D objects, extensive platform support, and ease of use. It enabled the portability of a common display code base for reuse across different team domains without losing content or production time. This allowed NASA to develop high-fidelity displays with the greatest visual graphics, ensuring the success and continued exploration of the Orion spacecraft.
