Description:
Over a period of three years, a FORTH-based system was developed by JPL for the operations of a major scientific instrument onboard the Space Shuttle. The software had to meet a very demanding operations environment where the interactiveness of the software was not merely desirable but essential to the success of the mission. Forth was chosen for its capability of integrating divergent software needs into an interactive package. The mission flown in October 1984 was beset with numerous hardware failures and challenged the capability of the system to its fullest.
