this jogged my memory of an episode of linux unplugged podcast many months ago. https://linuxunplugged.com/396

"Tim Canham, the Mars Helicopter Operations Lead, shares Linux’s origins at JPL and how it ended up running on multiple boxes on Mars.

Plus the challenges Linux still faces before its ready for mission-critical space exploration."

edit: just saw someone already mentioned the podcast in this thread
