Find out how to run your very own code in space with the European Astro Pi Challenge. New to coding? Mission Zero is right for you. Advanced coders can level up with an all-new Mission Space Lab.

Mission Zero offers young people the chance to have their code run in space! Write a simple program to take a reading from the colour and luminosity sensor on an Astro Pi computer on board the International Space Station, and use it to set the background colour in a personalised image for the astronauts to see as they go about their daily tasks.

Taking part in Astro Pi Mission Space Lab enables young people to learn about the ISS, about gathering and using data to answer a scientific question, and about creating and troubleshooting a computer program.

What is Astro Pi? The European Astro Pi Challenge offers young people the amazing opportunity to conduct scientific investigations in space by writing computer programs that run on Raspberry Pi computers aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

The new Astro Pi computers contain a range of sensors that will allow Mission Space Lab teams investigating life on Earth and life in space to do a wider range of experiments than ever before.

Take a reading from the colour and luminosity sensor on the Astro Pi computer. Use the sensor reading to set the colour of the background in your personalised image. The images you create should be inspired by nature, on Earth or beyond.

Mission Zero 2024/25 has now closed. You can still complete the activity but will not be able to submit your program to run on the ISS. The next round of the challenge will launch in September 2024. Check social media and sign up to the newsletter on the

Astro Pi is an ESA Education project run in collaboration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

Use photos taken by an Astro Pi Flight Unit on the International Space Station (ISS) to estimate the speed at which the ISS orbits the Earth.
