Android in Space - Nexus S on Space Shuttle Atlantis
NASA is using Nexus S phones to upgrade volleyball-sized Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites nicknamed "SPHERES" originally developed by MIT.
The phones help the robotic satellites perform tasks the astronauts used to do, like recording sensor data and capturing video footage. In the future, the phones will control and maneuver the SPHERES using the IOIO board and possibly the Android Open Accessory Development Kit (ADK).
