Linux in space! A project for the University of New South Wales, the Bluesat microsatellite is a joint endeavor of the Mechanical, Electrical, Telecommunications, and Computer Systems engineering departments. “What we’ve got is fairly powerful for a satellite computer, so we may put Linux in space,” the project’s chief technical officer Ashley Butterworth told Computerworld. Computerworld goes on to report that the team decided that Linux made sense for the project because it is Open Source. That way it can be stripped down if need be to make it work for their needs.
