Raspberry Pi offers low-cost, high-quality computers and microcontrollers that are used everywhere from industrial scenarios to challenging embedded environments, providing a compelling solution for space applications.

Off the shelf

Raspberry Pi hardware is available off the shelf. Our microcontrollers and computers are affordable, extremely reliable, and performant; and as a growing number of missions make use of our hardware, we are accumulating a solid flight heritage. With a large and experienced development community to help troubleshoot, and thorough documentation to support you, your project experience is simplified.

Familiar environment

Raspberry Pi single board computers are widely used for prototyping, and industrialised versions of the same hardware are available. This means that during your design phase you can build your flatsat making use of the same tooling you will use in orbit, and then move to industrialised versions of the hardware when you are flight-ready.
