In this year’s Mission Space Lab, ESA astronauts are inviting teams of young people to solve a scientific task by writing a Python program. The task is to gather data with the Astro Pi computers to calculate the speed at which the ISS is travelling. This new format of the mission will allow many more young people to run their programs in space and get a taste of space science.
Mission Space Lab will open on 6 November. We will share more information soon about how you can take part.
