writes about a multi-language satellite control system at JPL.
"
How do you harness a satellite control system written in three languages, on four development platforms, and deployed to multiple client environments? With open source, naturally. When one wrong move can cost millions, rely on teamwork, smart design, and open standards to keep the project -- if not the satellite -- from going down in flames."
