1994 NASA report details Lisp-built Space Shuttle engine control GUI
Original: This 1994 NASA report described a prototype object-oriented GUI for the control system of a Space Shuttle rocket engine.
A 1994 NASA report describes a prototype object-oriented graphical interface for the control system of a Space Shuttle rocket engine. The system was developed in Lisp on a Texas Instruments Explorer II+ Lisp Machine, an unusual choice for such an application. The report is available through NASA's Technical Reports Server, and space history enthusiasts have been sharing the find.
Why now: Space history enthusiasts are rediscovering and sharing this unusual example of Lisp machines being used in NASA engineering work.
