The computers on all are spacecrafts are programmed in SI units but the data displayed to astronauts is in English units.Originally Posted by Euroholic
Engineers on the ground need data in both SI and English units.
The whole world uses English units because all atmospheric flight even international flight uses English units.
Sometime in 2023 space shuttle Orion will launch and be our first shuttle to use solely SI units.
We're catching up to the rest of the world slowly lol.
