It's absolutely insane to think about it. I hope they make the code open one day, it would be nice to see all the patches they had to push several millions kilometres away.
That's never going to happen, not only is the code proprietary from whomever manufactured the satellite. But it's also going to be covered under CUI, even if its just a science mission (which it is). Further, the code is covered more broadly under ITAR laws that forbid the transfer of technology outside of the u.s. (which includes this code)
The federal government does not and never will share information about how its satellites operate and work under the hood.
Source, I work for nasa and deal with this exact thing. Please don't spread misinformation unless you actually know what you're talking about.

From the readme
So, no.
