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.

language Critical to the adoption of LiveCode was the language. The team found the high level and logical natures of the scripting language were ideal for quick development and easy maintainability.
