QUESTION:
Has the programming language ADA been used with MGS?

ANSWER from Charles Whetsel on June 26, 1997:
The Mars Global Surveyor Flight Software was written in a programming
language called JOVIAL which is very similar to ADA, but slightly older.
The microprocessors for MGS are MIL-STD-1750A, which is a more traditional
(also much older) flight computer than the advanced systems that MPF is
using.
