NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab Launches Atlassian Into Space

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) uses a host of Atlassian products to build the software used for flight mission planning as well as modeling data sent back from satellites and Mars rovers. I sat down with David Mittman, lead software developer and "default Atlassian guy" at JPL to get a closer look at what they're up to.
