ESA, the European Space Agency, is promoting the use of free development
tools - GCC and GNAT - for its own projects based on spacecraft
microprocessors. For more information you can check the article "GNU-Based
Compilation Systems for Spacecraft Microprocessors", by M. Martignano,
published in the September 1997 issue (Vol. 7, N. 3; page 16) of "Preparing
for the Future", an ESA newsletter devoted to technology programs. The
