Computer Science in Space

Star and Planet

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 three new ways to win stuff by thinking about space.
