The James Webb Space Telescope , which has already delivered some astonishing images, is primarily controlled by JavaScript code based on a software development kit from 2003.that a manuscript for the JWST’s Integrated Science Instrument Module reveals that the software for the module is controlled by the Script Processor Task, which “runs scripts written in JavaScript”.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration describes the ISIM as “the heart of the James Webb Space Telescope”. This is because it comprises instruments that capture images through the telescope, and the JavaScript code controls the process.— written by Ilana Dshevsky and Vicky Balzano of the Space Telescope Science Institute — reveals that the JWST uses Nombas ScriptEase 5.00e.in the 2000s and the last update to ScriptEase 5.00e was released in January 2003.
