Software bug sent Soyuz off course

I wonder what language it was written in,
and what the nature of the problem was.

Do the Russians use Ada?

Whatever language was used, they were using it wrong.

At least some Russians do, as there is a Russian Ada site.

I bought an Ada compiler from Russia a few years back.

The Russian Flight Software I see on the
modules in the Int'l Space Station are
written in C. I'm talking about things like
the FGB.


They do use Ada for some of the models 
used in the trainers but the embedded
flight control stuff I've seen is plain
C.  I have no idea if this one example
carries over to the Soyuz flight 
control software.
