Space Experiments For Everyone: The ArduSat Project

ArduSat , that stands for "Arduino satellite", is a not long ago kickstarted plan that aims at building an open stage serviceable to obey space scientists:

Once launched, the ArduSat will be the initial open stage permitting the broad open to pattern and run their own space-based applications, games and experiments, drive the onboard cameras to take cinema on-demand, and even announce made to order messages back to Earth.

ArduSat will be versed with a few sensors (such as cameras, gyros, accelerometers, GPS and more) full inside a tiny brick (the side will be roughly 10 cm long) that may be accessed by a set of Arduinos.

Once in orbit, the ArduSat will be attainable from the belligerent to spark the compulsory firmware is to experiments and for getting back all the collectedinformation. People meddlesome in conducting space experiments will have access to a belligerent copy of ArduSat explotable to assessment and debug their ethics before the real deployment.

The plan is really ambitious, and it is approaching that such an open attainable space stage will have a substantial effect on how elementary space experiments will be carried out in the stirring years, in the box of fundraising success.

You may find the Kickstarter page of the plan here .
