Ardusat

Kits designed to enable students and researchers to simulate real space experiments before sending their code to satellites in space. The kit comes with a large selection of sensors and is well documented, including prebuilt exercises. What's great about this project is that it is very accessible. It's relatively cheap and uses the basics of circuitry to envision new inventions for discovering information about space. Ardusat increases the number of people able to explore aspects of our solar system. It is not only a gadget used for discovery, but is in itself a platform. The more research, the better.
