Raspberry Pi... in space?!

The Raspberry Pi is a low-cost, credit card-sized computer that is used to learn programming through fun, practical projects.

This featured version of the Raspberry Pi - the Astro Pi - is a small computer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, in collaboration with the UK Space Agency and the ESA. There are two Astro Pi computers onboard the ISS, which are equipped with a set of sensors that can be used to run scientific experiments.

===============

Backgrounder: In December 2015, British ESA Astronaut Tim Peake blasted off to the International Space Station for Mission Principia. Two weeks earlier, augmented Raspberry Pi computers, or “Astro Pis”, had also been flown up to the ISS and lay in wait for him.

The augmentations to the existing Raspberry Pi include a special sensor board to act as a toolkit for the students to use. This is a standard Raspberry Pi peripheral called the Sense HAT and it can measure the environment inside the station, detect how it’s moving through space, and pick up the Earth’s magnetic field.

Using the board’s sensors, the ISS crew are running experiments in space that were created and coded by students!
