WORLD’S FIRST PI-POWERED SATELLITE SHOWS THE RESILIENCE OF RASPBERRY PI


NEWS



Undergraduate students at the Utah State University (USU) have successfully
launched the first Pi-powered satellite into orbit. The GASPACS CubeSat, which
was sponsored by NASA, features a Raspberry Pi Zero computer, a second-gen Pi
Camera Module, and a DFRobot Beetle microcontroller to facilitate basic tasks at
a low price.

Like other CubeSat devices, the GASPACS CubeSat is quite small—just 10
centimeters wide. Its mission is to test an “aeroboom” stabilization system,
which successfully deployed 45 minutes after astronauts tossed GASPACS CubeSat
off the ISS.




Of course, the tiny satellite has several secondary missions. One such mission,
which is quite interesting, is to test the resilience of relatively cheap
hardware like the Raspberry Pi Zero. The GASPACS CubeSat has no radiation
shielding, so it’s vulnerable to any radiation that gets past Earth’s magnetic
field.

The Raspberry Pi computer hasn’t died yet. And in case some solar wind manages
to knock the Pi Zero unconscious, a DFRobot Beetle microcontroller will try to
revive the computer … by turning it off and on.

Additionally, GASPACS CubeSat features a Pi Camera Module to take photos in
space. You can see a few of these photos on the USU GASPACS team’s Twitter page.
I suggest following this page if you want to keep up with the satellite’s orbit
and the talented undergrad students at USU.
