Designer of the IntroSat picosatellite.Pico is used for conducting classes on the basics of satellite engineering and space systems engineering. With the help of this constructor, middle and high school students can master the programming of microcontrollers, learn the basics of circuit engineering, learn the features of radio and infrared communications, and, if desired, create their own scientific and engineering projects based on the constructor. Programming takes place in the Arduino IDE development environment, and the AVR family microcontroller used is also used on Arduino boards popular among hobbyists, which ensures a low entry threshold for various age groups. The knowledge gained will be useful not only for space enthusiasts, but also for anyone who wants to learn robotics in general.
