MATLAB on Artemis II?
Do we know if MATLAB is being used on the Artemis II (moon mission) spacecraft itself? Like is the crew running MATLAB programs? I imagine it was probably at least used in development of some of the components of the spacecraft, rockets, or launch building. Or is it used for any of the image analysis of the images collected by the spacecraft?

I don't think Orion is running Windows, macOs, or Linux, so none of the OS versions that Matlab supports.
thanks for sharing this
This is a little off-topic, but regarding MATLAB in space, I'm not sure if anyone has run MATLAB on a machine carried on a space mission. But I do know that MATLAB (not just code generated using MATLAB and/or Simulink) has been in space.
From that Facebook post: "Engineer and NASA astronaut Dr. Nicholas Patrick [brought] MATLAB into space with him in 2006! This photo is displayed at MathWorks HQ"
If I recall correctly, Dr. Patrick visited MathWorks a while back and actually presented our president, Jack Little, with the CD shown in that picture.
I also wonder the same.
On a related topic, here's a simulation of its trajectory using MATLAB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEAOxuQk5QI

@Mike Croucher 'In the 5+ years I've been at MathWorks, I've learned that whenever something really cool happens in science and engineering there is a good chance that the scientists and engineers involved used our tools.' Same here. We probably should share more stories with the community.
