The European Astro Pi Challenge
The Astro Pi project offers students the opportunity to conduct scientific experiments in space by coding a program that runs on Raspberry Pi computers installed on the International Space Station (ISS). This project is divided into two missions offering two different levels of complexity. Mission Zero involves creating a drawing using the LED panel on the ISS’s Raspberry Pi computers, while Mission Space Lab requires you to write computer code to calculate the ISS’s rotation velocity based on photos taken by the Raspberry Pi computers.
Technical Q&A Webinar on Mission Space Lab
To support you in your Astro Pi Mission Space Lab project, the European Space Agency (ESA) is offering a live webinar on YouTube on January 20, 2026, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. These presentations will be given in English by ESA teams and will outline the final steps of the Mission Space Lab project before the February 16, 2026 submission deadline.
This webinar, “Technical Q&A on Mission Space Lab,” will aim to answer your technical questions or try to help you troubleshoot as the submission date approaches. It’s an excellent opportunity for your teams to get expert advice. You can access this free webinar by clicking the button below.
We look forward to seeing you on this project or one of our other projects! You can discover all ESERO projects here.
