ArduSat - The Arduino Based Satellite Lets You Explore Space Like Never Before

Space exploration is bemusing for millions. A lot of people want to do their own projects, but have to stop because of lack of funds. ArduSat is an attempt for making it affordable for you to use an open platform where people can design and run their own space-based applications, games and experiments, steer the onboard cameras to take pictures on-demand, and even broadcast personalized messages back to Earth. Isn't it amazing? Well, ArduSat is a Arduino-based miniature cubic satellite that holds 25+ sensors, including three cameras, a Geiger counter, spectrometer, magnetometer and more.  These sensors are connected to user-programmable Arduino processors that will run the user's application or experiment, gathering data from the space environment.

The Arduinos will also be able to run tests directly on the satellite. Users have the liberty to write their code from scratch as per their project requirements. ArduSat developers are already cooking up project ideas related to point-and-shoot camera, ionosphere sounding, thermal modeling etc. We think the possibilities are endless. The team behind ArduSat is looking up for support from #-Link-Snipped-#.

Here is a video that has all the technical details about ArduSat -
