What Does GLS Stand For?
GLS stands for Ground Launch Sequence Sequencer
GLS, or Ground Launch Sequence Sequencer, is a critical system utilized in aerospace operations to automate and manage the series of events required for the launch of a spacecraft. It orchestrates the pre-launch checklist and coordinates various subsystems to ensure all necessary steps are executed in the correct order, enhancing launch efficiency and safety. The GLS facilitates real-time monitoring and control, enabling ground personnel to respond promptly to any irregularities during the launch sequence.
