If I understand what I read here the earlier comments about
the failed Ariane-5 indicated that the flight s/w was coded
in Ada. The blurb I've read in Space News says the code
that failed resided in the inertial measurement units. This
is different than the flight software. Does anybody know
what the embedded code for the IMUs is coded in?
Overall, it seems a design failure. The IMU's couldn't handle
the flight profile of the Ar-5 and the test bed was killed to
save money.
