Description


Citizens in Space has purchased 10 passenger and 100 payload flights on the XCOR LYNX Spacecraft.

Join us May 4-5 and learn how you or your experiment can be onboard.


The Silicon Valley's first ever space hacker workshop will provide hands-on exposure to a variety of microcontrollers, sensors, imaging systems, and other components that you can use to design and build microgravity, fluid-physics, life-science, and engineering experiments and instruments with more power than a NASA satellite from a few years back.

A key aspect of the workshop will feature hands-on training with Arduino technologies and the Ardulab modules from Infinity Aerospace. Co-founders Manu Sharma and Brian Reiger will lead the training work software and hardware examples for microgravity experiments on the XCOR Lynx vehicle.

Current Student can use the discount code "studentinspace" and must present a valid student ID at registration on Saturday 5/4.
