Beyond Research: Julia as the Core of Commercial Space Mission Software
This talk presents a research project turned product: a space mission simulator suite with Julia at its core. I'll highlight how the Julia language and ecosystem were essential to this effort, and how they offer a significant advantage over alternatives. I'll share an experience report about using Julia in production. I'll argue that Julia's potential for scientific tooling can be an edge in commercializing research — with proper attention to interoperability, tooling, and streamlined user experience.
