What is out there?

Computer Science has been vital to our explorations of space, both in our trips to space and our earth-bound probing. Our fascination with space has also led to innovations in computer science too, from the earliest attempts at computers to the satellites that keep many of our computer-based technologies afloat.

Here we look at some of the links between space and computer science. You can even get involved yourself. See our competition page for a 2008 competition to put your scientific experiment into space.

Watch out out our magazine Special Issue on Computer Science in Space due in the Autumn of 2008 ...or read it all online.
