Nice article from ZDnet on the Pi Zero’s adventure in space with The Get Away Special Passive Attitude Control Satellite [GASPCAS].
The first satellite to use Raspberry Pi Zero as its flight computer re-entered Earth’s atmosphere in May, completing a record 117 days in space.
GASPACS, sponsored by NASA, is the first CubeSat completely created by undergraduates. Members of Utah State University’s Get Away Special Team were responsible for the design of the mini-satellite, a cubic module that measures just 10 centimeters across and was built using off-the-shelf components.
