space probes are among the most advanced devices created by mankind. They have state of the art equipment, very expensive lenses and sensors, and are resistant to (almost) all space weather conditions and some mileage. Windows 98. Which? Hi? Operating system from the 1990s, which ended support in 2002, runs on space probe?
A satellite launched by ESA 15 years ago used a high resolution camera and radar to detect
This is not the last and not the first update for Windows 98 works for Mars Express probe. Launched in 2003, one year after the end of support for this operating system. European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft this is not the first nor the last time the device receives a software update. New update, second ESAwill make improvements in signal receiver and data processing to increase the amount and quality of information sent to Earth.
mission Mars Express is to find water in Mars (something was first proven in 2005 when “water ice” was confirmed in the red planet’s polar cap). Your equipment can even detect wetlands below the surface. During the time when probe was in development Windows 98 It was most popular operating system. Consequently ESA chose to develop software for the ecosystem Windows 98. O Windows ME was launched in 2000, before the launch of the probe. However, do not change operating system during development – and it was Windows ME!
In the team that wins, the movement does not occur. Right? No matter how sophisticated or advanced the hardware (or aircraft that use floppy disks to update their software) is, they are designed with a specific function in mind and you don’t need to install all the latest versions on them. Does the International Space Station use Windows 11? Of course! notebooks ISS use a Linux distribution. With so much expense equipment expensive, development for an operating system used in probes or rovers shouldn’t be “overkill”, it just does its job. be alone Windows 98, Linux or even Windows XP (missing You!).
Is a manned mission possible? NASA plans to send astronauts to Mars
The mission could take place between 2030 and 2040.
