Does an HP calc go along with space missions anymore - Matt Agajanian - 08-28-2022 02:58 AM
Hi all,
Yeah yeah. We’re living in the era of the laptop and smartphones with HP calc apps. I’m interested to know if calcs such as the 48 series or the 67/97 or even the 41 system are part of a mission's toolkit.

I think it's the Raspberry PI turn since 2015 now...

As I recall, one of the last Shuttle Mission Pictures had shown an HP48.

I guess that's part of the "Astro Pi" STEM project to get kids interested in space.
