       @splitshockvirus I've always assumed they were custom designed embedded systems.

       @rob They probably are but they everything runs on top of this.  They also have a Linux distro for embedded systems.https://www.windriver.com/products/vxworks

       @splitshockvirus @rob > VxWorksThe OS isn't bad, but the tooling is fucking aids. The only reason to use it is to avoid dealing with the FAA since WindRiver offers it pre-certified according to their standards. I think there might be a company that pre certifies free rtos or something, but all of these contractors already use VxWorks anyway so it's just not worth switching.

       @splitshockvirus >The Mars Rover OS is proprietaryYes and NASA should not have thrown their freedom away by making that choice.On a different note, most licensed software NASA releases is proprietary (for a lot of things, NASA doesn't have copyright on the software they directly release and so such is free software as long as the source is provided): https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NASA>They also have a Linux distro for embedded systems.The kernel, Linux is useless on its own, which OS have they combined with Linux?
