what is

The time globetrotters is a project for the astro pi competition that offers young people the amazing opportunity to conduct scientific investigations in space by writing computer programs that run on Raspberry Pi computers aboard the International Space Station.

​

Our investigation into the project was to periodically record environmental data within the ISS Columbus module.

Our team aims to find a way to determine the characteristics of the path that the ISS travels in orbit around the earth, deducing from the data a mathematical formula that would be able to show the coordinates of the ISS at the moment and entered by the users of the program.

In addition, the team aimed to investigate whether the values recorded within the form could somehow be influenced by the position on earth on which the ISS was orbiting.
