Nice.
Do they still use them or are these images from some time ago?

Not sure, having said that, a lot of NASA's technology is old stuff because they know how it works and know it's going to be reliable. You don't want something to crash when it's in charge of bringing people back to earth from space.

Apparently, they use some to track low orbit satelites. Why cause Amiga's are reliable.

You also have the instant on and off aspect of the Amiga, plus very fast OS booting from HD, which is still a huge issue for PCs if they crash.

I'd say that screenshot looks quite Linuxy to me, but it could be from an Amiga.
It would be good if they do still use Amigas.
Does anyone knoe of any other people/businesses that use Amigas? (Other than us).

Sadly I don't know of any companies that are currently using Amigas.
Btw.. The Norwegian TV-channel called TV 2 used Amiga 4000's for a wide range of tasks.

I think the most famous use of Amigas was the bank of them, fitted with toasters, that were used for Season one of Babylon 5. Mind you, Amigas were also used on ST: TNG and Seaquest: DSV to name but a few.

And don't forget the London Transport Museum which used specially adapted CD32's to run all of their interactive displays. And that was responsible for the invention of the SX-1 expansion.
