An unmanned Cygnus cargo freighter, powered by an Atlas V rocket, has just taken off from Florida. On board are two Raspberry Pi Astro Pi units destined for the International Space Station. So exciting! Lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. Here are some pics from the launch.

Just heard that the spacecraft has now separated and is properly ‘in space’. So proud of the Raspberry Pi guys for pulling this off, especially Dave Honess who has overseen the project at the Foundation 🙂
