success stories:
Hubble Telescope planner: written on TI Explorers in late 80s. (no it
wasn't used to design the mirror)
SwissAir: their flight scheduling (?) program, also written on TI
Explorers (I bump into these folks when I try to buy used hardware
sometimes, as they can outbid me).
Chicago Board of Trade: futures trading program, on TI microExplorers.
I don't know where any of them are now.

To the best of my knowledge:
The program's called spike and it runs on more than one commercial lisp
system. It was used for scheduling on the Japanese X-RAY ASCA mission (an
X-RAY telescope) and will also be used for the US XTE mission (another
X-RAY telescope).
