Where do rocket engineering and software development intersect?

Hi Ben, thanks for your question. The intersection occurs at implementing any sort of autonomous behavior in response to sensory input onboard the system. I believe this is classified as embedded programming in the software world. Examples include self-landing rockets, spacecraft docking, etc.
