Python and spacecraft onboard or ground control scripting

...
well there's certainly been some efforts with Tcl eg

s. "Tcl and Concurrent Object-Oriented Flight Software: Tcl on Mars",
by David E. Smyth, Mars Pathfinder Flight Software Team, Jet
Propulsion Laboratory.

        Describes the use of Tcl on the "Mars Pathfinder" project, in
        which Tcl (with several extensions) is used in several ways:
        as the language for inter-object messages within the
        object-oriented flight software; as the implementation
        language for the monitor and control environment; and as the
        initial implementation language for some of the flight
        software itself.

but I'm not sure that Tcl actually went to Mars.
