Does an HP calc go along with space missions anymore

[Matt Agajanian]

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.

Arf, difficult to answer (the picture i showed just shows UK citizen has used an Rpi in the space...)

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