What is the Mars Curiosity Rover's software built in?
I only recently came across an article that stated there was well over 500,000 lines of code in Curiosity and I was very much intrigued; which language did NASA use and what computer and CPU architecture has Curiosity got on-board; would they have reused Space Shuttle code and hardware? I know it has to be a low level language such a C/C++ and or assembly, but they might have a specialised use that doesn't fit with these languages. Can anyone shed some light?
