Computing on Amateur Satellites
Less than five years after the launch of Sputnik in late 1957, the first satellite built entirely by amateur radio operators was in orbit. Since then, more than fifty amateur satellites of increasing sophistication have been successfully delivered to Earth orbit.
The environment of space imposes interesting constraints, as does an all-volunteer ground station network. This talk will discuss the evolution of computing systems aboard amateur satellites from OSCAR 1 to the future, including a satellite intended for Mars orbit.
