kenekaplan writes "NASA has used VxWorks for several deep space missions, including Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. When the space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) needs to run stress tests or simulations for upgrades and fixes to the OS, Wind River's Mike Deliman gets the call. In a recent interview, Deliman, a senior member of the technical staff at Wind River, which is owned by Intel, gave a peek at the legacy technology under Curiosity's hood and recalled the emergency call he got when an earlier Mars mission hit a software snag after liftoff."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Stress-Testing+Software+For+Deep+Space%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbi t.ly%2FOUPckF)http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fs tory%2F12%2F10%2F10%2F2336217%2Fstress-testing-software-for-deep-space%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceb ook)http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://science.slashdot.org/story/12/10/10/2336217/stress-testing-software-for-deep-space?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
