The LynxOS® real-time operating system will be running inside the pseudo operator of the manless SLR2000. The pseudo operator will monitor the health and safety of the system and will control the acquisition and tracking of the satellites. LynxOS will run on a Pentium 200 single-board computer mounted in a VME bus chassis, which will communicate between the interface control computer and the data analysis computer using a Bit-3 PCI-to-VME bus adapter.

LynxOS can also be found inside all of NASA's existing SLR stations—from the MOBLAS-8 in Tahiti to the TLRS-3 in Peru.
