As I watched the Falcon 9 Heavy launch today just before liftoff I heard the usual words...... And now the onboard computer has taken control of the rocket. It got me wondering about the type of computer being used. What type of bus, how many boards being used, all the connections for sensors, valves, monitoring. What are they using as a main processor. Did they design it from the ground up or use a model from earlier rocket launches and modify it.
