The Guidance and Control Subdivision is the home of three labs dedicated to the research, study, testing and demonstration of guidance, navigation, and control systems, both hardware and software components, high-fidelity simulations including hardware-in-the-loop, and autonomous systems.
Embedded Systems Applications Center (ESAC)
ESAC hosts Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation systems that provide a realtime platform with flight-equivalent avionics components and simulated vehicle dynamics used to validate embedded software in flight-equivalent avionics and software environments. Activities include flight computer hardware/software integration and testing, and avionics performance, timing, and redundancy validation and verification. 
The Embedded Systems lab provides an environment for embedded systems development and integration for the AeroCube and Slingshot CubeSat programs, and any other program that requires embedded systems. Research is done to develop innovative solutions in flight software design, hardware and software integration, and testing.  The lab also houses CubeSat HIL simulations for rapid integration, prototyping of solutions, and test-like-you-fly capability.
Collaborative & Autonomous Vehicle Ecosystem (CAVE)
CAVE provides an environment and ecosystem for research, development, integration and testing of autonomous sub-systems and systems using Vicon motion capture cameras, robotic arms, rovers and drones, to explore how increased autonomy and collaborative robotics will make autonomous space systems manageable.
Mechatronics Research Lab (MRL)
The MRL (not included in this tour) is The Aerospace Corporation’s premier facility for testing and evaluating control system hardware, including electromechanical, electro-optical, and optomechanical devices. The MRL’s extensive experience enables rapid response in engineering testing, including system design evaluation, analytical model validation, and anomaly resolution. The laboratory can also design new capabilities to meet emerging needs.
