Debian on a Rocket.
Andrew Greenberg and Brian O'Neel from the Portland State Aerospace
Society built a 12 pound rocket which shall launch this September and
will travel at three times the speed of sound to 55,000 feet. The team
builds suborbital rockets that are smaller than commercial rockets, but
larger and more powerful than hobby ones. In addition, the project
relies on Free Software, such as Debian, and hardware, which can
dramatically improve the performance of the rockets.
