Landsat 7

Landsat 7 is an imaging satellite. It provides images of the earth for science and industry (including google maps). It is monitored, driven and protected 24/7 by a suite of LiveCode apps.

Ivar Tillotson, a Spacecraft Systems Engineer at the US Geological Survey who runs the Landsat program, saw a couple of problems and solved them with quick LiveCode apps. Little did he know that 5 years later the team would have a complex suite of 6 apps written in LiveCode that would be central to the operation of Landsat 7.

Keeping engineering safe all over the globe

VP Link is written in LiveCode. It keeps workers and the general public all over the world safe every day. It is a real-time, mission critical testing platform, that floods systems with test data to root out the tiniest of issues before a system is made live. It is likely there is a power station, oil rig or factory near you that is kept safe by this fantastic tool. The software has become so critical in a variety of industries that it was recently acquired by the Wood Group.
