Either or :)  I Did a little reaserch on the subject namely the NASA
Document "Recommended Approach to Software Development, Revision 3" SEL-81-305. 
Apparently there is a ton of documentation and a solid system of checks

used at all for current NASA projects.  I heard that the Spirit Rover used
JAVA.
