New NASA Satellites Have Android Smartphones for Brains
NASA is aiming to launch a line of small satellites called "PhoneSats"
that are cheaper to make and easier to build than those it has produced
in the past. To achieve this, engineers are using unmodified Android
smartphones -- in one prototype, HTC's Nexus One, and in another,
Samsung's Nexus S -- to perform many of a satellite's key functions.
