Manitoba Space Adventure Camp 2013

 

Nine of the thirty-nine participants in this years Manitoba Space Adventure Camp were students attending Shaftesbury High School. The annual space engineering summer camp was held at the University of Manitoba (Engineering Information and Technology Complex) between August 19th and 23rd. MSAC activities included, soldering and robot building, rocket building, "fox" hunting or amateur radio direction finding (ARDF), building with composite materials, an introduction to orbital mechanics using STKSAE competitions at the U of M, and a presentation on the history of the Shaftesbury High Altitude Robotics project, SHARP to name a few.

Arduino's in Space?

 

You already know that Arduino's are inexpensive open source microcontrollers used on SHARP high altitude balloon flights to log data from sensors, operate motors and release payloads at programmed locations. But, did you know that the Arduino will soon be in Earth orbit? ArduSat-1 is on the international space station and is to be placed in orbit this fall. Now consider this. You will be able to upload your space experiment sketch to the ArduSat! Space is going open source thanks to Arduino!
