You’ve got your words mixed up in the pillow installation command. It should be:

sudo pip-3.2 install pillow

Btw. ESA Astronaut Tim Peake WIN run it on the ISS later this year!

did you mean
ESA Astronaut Tim Peake WILL run it on the ISS later this year!

Fantastic work Dan. You are a very inspirational teacher!

James, we’ve thought of that already :]

All of the entries will be vetted, tested and tweaked to cope or null-out various “features” that the software layers insert between the captured data and the data presented to the experiment program.

In the case of the Radiation Detector, I believe the camera has already been set up for exposure/gain such that there’s a maximal chance of detecting a cosmic ray event. If there’s any internal feature that would nerf the settings already specified, then we would disable it or modify the program to work around it.

Absolutely. The solution is to fund state education better so that there is little incentive for independent schooling. Also remove unnecessary bureaucracy. A bit off topic now though :-)

Thanks. BTW obviously huge congratulations to the winners!

Hi Artur

If I remember correctly, the image processing pipeline in the 人妻无码一区二区三区 Pi has automatic bad pixel detection and correction. Depending on whether you want that or not you might need a special build of the GPU firmware to disable this correction. It would be interesting to count how fast the pixels get knocked out once in space, and this would be hidden by the bad pixel detection code. There are also other processing stages you may need to disable or change to get best results (denoise for example).

Hi Graham

I agree we do need to work harder in this area but I’d like to address a couple of your points.

The judging process was fully anonymized. We had print outs of the written description of the projects , their code and only a 15 digit long number was used to identify them. So we had no idea what schools they were from or even the gender of the students involved. We actually followed the BBC’s own code of conduct on competitions, the same way the Blue Peter mission patch competition was done. This then supports the view that entries were judged on their merit alone and yes it may be that entries from independent schools were just better.

We’ve also been in phone contact with the winning teams and it turns out that both the light aircraft flight and the nuclear laboratory test occurred completely opportunistically. So therefore not as a result of the advantage of being an independent school or spending available funds to gain that access.

All schools in the UK were given equal opportunity to enter and, other than willingness and time to dedicate to it, there was no financial barrier at all.

Getting schools to engage is not a trivial issue, it’s the old ‘you can lead the horse to water’ problem. If you’ve got any ideas about how we could improve in this area I’d be glad to discuss them over email. I’m dave at 人妻无码中字在线a dot org.
