About this technology
Overview
Kennedy Space Center worked with Blue Sun Enterprises, based in Boulder, Colorado, to enhance the companyճ virtual machine language (VML) to control the instruments on the Regolith and Environment Science and Oxygen and Lunar Volatiles Extraction mission. Now the NASA-improved VML is available for crewed and uncrewed spacecraft, and has potential applications on remote systems such as weather balloons, unmanned aerial vehicles, and submarines.
