This ain't your high school code-a-thon!

Aerospace software development is uniquely challenging, with tough requirements for robustness and reliability. Layer on embedded systems and real time operating systems, and you've got yourself some fun design work.

Join us this IAP for an interactive 4-part workshop, offered jointly by Draper Lab and the Mars Gravity Biosatellite program. (LUNCH PROVIDED!)

Experienced Draper staff will take you through:
Specification (i.e. interpreting what engineers really want)
Real Time data handling and processing (i.e. keeping your spacecraft in orbit NOW)
Real Time code (i.e. things that don’t matter in Microsoft Word), and
Testing (i.e. breaking your system for fun & profit)

Undergrads, Grad Students and Community Members welcomed.
