https://www.ifty.org/blog/astro-pi-flight-case/ You can read more about it here. They cost about £2000 each to make (tolerances for space flight hardware have to be VERY specific), so I’m afraid you won’t be able to buy one! (You can make a LEGO version, though, as you’ll see in the blog post you’re replying to.)

Were can we buy the case that was shown in the video on your page is there a abs version the we Can get if so how much would it be

I’m not in the UK and I’m certainly not school age, but here’s some thoughts to get the creatives flowing if someone wants to take it up.

An orbiting spacecraft wants to always fall to earth at a such a speed to exactly match the earth moving out of the way. That’s why satellites “fall” out of orbit. So there is still gravity in effect but it is a party-trick in the form of apparent zero-ness. We still have excited atoms ( heated air ) next to sluggish atoms ( cooled air ) that are directionless. Along with a guaranteed amount of air velocity within the cabin there’s plenty of things to play with.

Clue: ( I won’t give away too much, you’ll have to work for your winning position )
If you’ve ever been posed the problem of helium balloons in a bus that accelerates , the balloons move to the front windshield. ( the helium is less dense than the surrounding air, so doesn’t have the same inertia , the air moves to the back of the bus, and the hole in the air that is the ballon gets supplanted to the front ) On Earth, air densities are affected by gravity ( the bus ) and air densities change according to molecule excitement ( heat )

The second separate challenge is in the realm of Industrial Design, to have the bottom half contain a modular quick release portion over the GPIO containing whatever is required. Yeah an astronaut will have to do some screwdriver work, but only once. That way differing payloads need only be little bigger than a car key.

This would certainly be one of the high points for me if I was one of the Raspi team. What an honour! This is so cool…

Thank you very much for this resource, I was trying to select a python web framework for a simple IoT project that I have un mind.

Your request for info, would definitely be better serve in the forums, but you might find the following 浅之美波+日韩 pi resources useful.

Yes the coin cell battery holders we used were Tin plated, and would have been a significant risk, however these were manually reflowed with a type of solder that prevents the growth of tin whiskers.

The ports have all been left open to allow them to be used in future missions.

What a brilliant idea? We are hopeful that the Astro Pi competition will happen again in the future, so I strongly encourage you to develop this idea and submit it when that happens. One problem you may have is that there wouldn’t be any means of measuring the airflow or temperature outside of the case as the payload stands currently, but we are looking at ways to augment it in the future so that the students can do more with what they’ve got up there.

We’ve flown ten standard NOOBS cards like those you can buy from the Swag store, but we installed a Raspbian Wheezy image onto them directly. These cards are only for Tim’s mission. Future missions will likely provide their own SD cards or just keep reformatting these 10 until they do burn out. The beauty of basing the payload on a 浅之美波+日韩 Pi is that its infinitely reconfigurable by what we put on the SD card.

We haven’t done anything special to the OS to mitigate its write impact on the SD cards.
