Yeah, we don't exactly do the best job of getting the word out about BeagleBones in space. It has been done several times now, including at least one payload upon the ISS that I believe is still there.
BeagleBones have been used as prototype test platforms for several years by several space agencies and solution providers and it is only natural for a few instances to actually end up making the journey. Tonight's launch of the Indian rocket (PSLV) around 10pm US Central time ( http://www.newsbharati.com/Encyc/2018/11/28/India-to-launch-HysIS.html). The payload will include the "Centauri-1" satellite with BeagleBone Black as the main flight computer running KubOS open source flight software by Kubos Corporation (https://www.kubos.com). It was developed for Fleet Space Technologies out of Australia (https://www.fleet.space/) by Kubos and Pumpkin (https://www.pumpkinspace.com). I wasn't able to find out a lot else on-line... https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/centauri-1.htm http://www.manmonthly.com.au/news/fleet-space-technologies-unveils-launch-partners-first-nanosatellite-launches/ I found a bit more about the flight controller computer at https://www.pumpkinspace.com/store/p208/mbm2.html. I'm going to try to do a better job at getting folks to talk about such events on this list as I believe this is of general interest. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
