- Technology
The SunbYte project aims to revolutionise solar telescope technology by creating a low cost telescope using novel manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing, Arduino controllers and Raspberry Pi computers.
Watch as the team uses a high altitude balloon, provided by the REXUS/BEXUS programme to lift our solar telescope above the interference of Earth’s lower atmosphere to observe the Sun.The Sunbyte project team is made up of an interdisciplinary student team from across the University of Sheffield. Find out how the team got on at the final stage of the project when they visited Sweden to launch their telescope into the earth's stratosphere along with other student projects from around Europe.
