Flight Products computational environments (including physical and virtual processors);
Interfaces with RF communications equipment; and

This includes virtual payloads which leverage available computing resources to enhance the value of payload elements already present on the vehicle.
The core flight software is responsible for delivering observability of all space program elements to the ground and collaborating on the infrastructure through which other teams at Loft including the Integration team are able to describe the logical structure of all telemetry and telecommands that have been implemented.
