Can Julia land on the Moon?

In recent years, we’ve been working on developing a simulation framework tailored to our needs at the European Space Agency, in the context of the Argonaut lunar lander programme. The result is ATLAS (Argonaut Tools for Landing Analysis and Simulation), a closed-loop, high-fidelity guidance, navigation, and control simulation framework developed entirely in Julia. Last month, we had the opportunity to present some of our experience transitioning from MATLAB/Simulink to Julia for closed-loop si...
