Plus, they have an anodized aluminum shell, a 5mm camera, and a bright LED display.<\/p>\n<p>Kids who join the Mission Zero program go through a short programming course\u2014it lasts about an hour. But by the end, they\u2019ll use their code to take a humidity reading on the ISS. This reading is shared with astronauts along with a custom message, which kids can write for the Astro Pi\u2019s LED display.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need any programming knowledge to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/astro-pi.org\/mission-zero\/\">participate in Mission Zero<\/a>, though you need to be 19 or younger\u00a0<em>and<\/em> a resident of the\u00a0ESA Member States. A teacher or mentor needs to register with the program first, of course. Sign-ups for Mission Zero end March 18th.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/blog\/building-new-astro-pi-units-international-space-station\/\">Raspberry Pi Foundation<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
