Seen via The Eternal Golden Braid (and indispendable read), an article on Spaceflight Avionics software development on the Pathfinder mission to Mars.
Having done something along the same lines myself - though FedSat wasn't separated by light-minutes - I can really appreciate his remote debugging remarks. That was an area we put a lot of effort into - capturing as much data as we could in case something was dodgy, so we could diagnose and fix or work around it.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
