Mission Control Software: A crucial aspect of spacecraft operations
At ESA, no mission enters orbit or heads into deep space without engineering skill, science savvy or thorough preparation. The hidden magic behind the people, however, is software, and every spacecraft relies on specialised mission control software to monitor and control every moment of flight -- and to return the mission's precious scientific data.
