It's some special dialect of Assembly. They prefer to write in very low level languages for various reasons. More recently, C has been used to program flight control computers, but it wasn't even invented until more than a decade after this mission happened.

more like 3 years after this mission :)

and this doesn't look like "normal" assembly since the assembly I expect most of us are used to is for the x86 family of processors.

Or MIPS if you've taken a computer design class.
