Mission Zero

offers students and young people the chance to have their computer programs run in space on the ISS as part of the European Astro Pi Challenge! Teams write a simple program to display a message to the astronauts onboard. Every participant will receive a certificate with the time and date their code was executed. Submissions are closed. Sign up for Astro Pi's mailing list for updates about this and future missions!
