I remember back in 1997, there was some 'discussion' online whether or not the Mars Pathfinder was running a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS).

Hi Philip -

I have this in Dead Tree Format. More in depth with plenty of good stories and lots of nice pictures. Gotta give it up for core memory!

I remember reading that core memory is particularly useful in space because no cosmic ray is going to nudge a magnet from a 0 to a 1 or vice versa.. I suppose, though, that transistors are too tiny and efficient to not be used nowadays, with plenty of shielding.

For my post-graduate I wrote an end-of-study paper on computers in spaceflight. A small summary of it was published in 2 articles in BIS monthly Spaceflight magazine in 1999 under titles:
Space age or Computer age
Supercomputers and artificial intelligence in spaceborne applications
Luckily nowadays more and more information becomes available on the WWW as far as ITAR rules ( Int Traffic Arms Regulations ) allow of course!
