Space agency to use software to provide integrated information to flight control teams that monitor, maintain the International Space Station

San Mateo, CA January 3, 2006 Composite Software, the Enterprise Information Integration (EII) leader, announced today that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is using its Composite Information Server (CIS) 3.6 in the space agency's Systems Health Information Portal (SHIP) concept prototype for the International Space Station (ISS).

SHIP is a prototype enterprise software system that provides integrated information to flight control teams that monitor and maintain the ISS as it supports astronauts in earth orbit. Composite's CIS 3.6 is on-demand, integration software that gives access to distributed data stored in disparate locations and applications, delivering this information as a single view.
