Thought you'd like to know about an Ada success story. The last
space shuttle flight, STS-64, featured a science experiment called
Lidar In-Space Technology Experiment (LITE). It collected lots of
valuable data on aerosols and other things in the atmosphere. It
was developed in the Software Engineering and Ada Lab (SEAL) here at
NASA Langley Research Center. All 50,000 or so lines of code for
the experiment and its Ground Support Equipment (GSE) were written
in Ada. Apparently, the software functioned admirably, and the
experiment was a success.
Wow, were there a lot of acronyms in that last paragraph! You'd
never know that I used to work for the Department of Defense (DOD)!
