You say all the software is open source, is it available for download somewhere? I've never seen code intended for space missions. I guess they don't share it

I've never seen code intended for space missions. I guess they don't share it as most of it can't be reused for other missions so there's really no point in doing it.
- mironathetin 13y agoyes, from the esa science portal. The projects are funded in parts from public money, so the results belong to everybody who pays taxes. That includes the source code. Sometimes there is a link for download (if a community of scientists uses the software, for example). Sometimes you may have to ask. But there are usually no secrets.
