Hal/S for flight control applications. Hal was developed for {NASA} by {Intermetrics, Inc.} in the 1970s for on-board {software}. The initial version was a {Fortran} {preprocessor}, written in Fortran. In 1972, as the space shuttle project advanced, the language was renamed Hal/S and made more adaptable to {architecture} of different computers by using {XPL}. In all, 11 different implementations, mostly based on {IBM 360}, were created. Applications also included projects by {JPL} (Galileo probe, Deep Space network).
