The first ATV launched in 2008 but I suspect Linux got in to space earlier than that in experiments.

Re: [GTALUG] SpaceX Sent NASA Astronauts Into Orbit Using Linux
Here's an article that mostly talks about Linux running on the Falcon 9 rocket but mentions near the end: "The Dragon spacecraft also runs Linux with flight software written in C++. The ship's touchscreen interface is rendered using Chromium and JavaScript." https://www.zdnet.com/article/from-earth-to-orbit-with-linux-and-spacex/ -- Scott --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk

You're saying it didn't have a Windows or Mac look. There really isn't a "Linux" look, since there isn't a single standard Linux desktop. Plus, window managers/desktops used for Linux tend to be more customisable than Windows or Mac, making Linux have even less of a specific look. It could just as easily have been QNX, BSD, something else or even (though unlikely) entirely custom. I didn't see anything that pointed towards it being Linux. -- Scott --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk

But if he can repeat the feat on a reasonably frequent basis, RosCosmos will really be crying because they made untold billions the last 9 years or so ferrying US flyers back and forth, despite the hullabaloo in the Press about the latest NASA/Roscosmos agreement written to give the impression that such hitch-hiking was a recent phenomenon. -- William Henderson aka Slackrat http://billh.sdf.org/slackware.jpg 9HS5203 ON HamSphere Ham Radio --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
