(For what) is NASA using Julia?

There are several of us in my group who use it pretty extensively. We have a flight mechanics simulation, for example: Genesis Flight Mechanics Simulation and Trajectory Design Tool v0.4.1(MSC-27061-1) | NASA Software Catalog. And we also do a lot of work with convex optimization in Julia.

There was a talk at JuliaCon this year from a different group: Building Production Desktop GUIs in Julia at NASA with Dear ImGui and Mirage.jl :: JuliaCon 2026 :: pretalx

Here’s another NASA engineer working in Julia: [ANN] Epicycle.jl Initial Release - Space Mission Design and Trajectory Optimization.
