What Operating System Nasa Uses?
Contents

Unix is quite older operating system now and most of the NASA’s system hence uses Linux based operating system. ISRO on the other hand relies on RHEL(Red Hat Enterprise Linux ) and Ubuntu with some very marginal use of unix kernel with small scale( of the order of 0.001%) of windows.

What OS does NASA use?

I’m a NASA contractor, and we use a mix of Mac OS X (JUST NOW moving to Yosemite!), and MS Windows in the office, although both Macs and Windows machines at NASA are heavily customized. Mission critical applications are often Linux, but we see windows as well.

Does NASA use Windows or Mac?

The question arises does NASA uses Apple Computers? Yes, they do use Apple computers. As per Robert Frost – Instructor and Flight Controller at NASA “Apple computers are quite common at the more research-oriented centers and very much less common at the operations-oriented centers.”
