Observation of atmospheric gravity waves using a Raspberry Pi camera module on board the International Space Station

We identified and computed the horizontal wavelengths of atmospheric gravity waves in clouds using a visible camera installed on window Columbus module International Space Station (ISS) controlled by Raspberry Pi computer. The experiment was designed context Astro challenge, project run ESA collaboration with Foundation, where students are allowed opportunity to write code be executed at ISS. A developed maximize probability capturing images while ISS is orbiting Earth. Several constraints had fulfilled such as duration limit (3 hours) maximum data size gigabytes). After receiving from ISS, small-scale were observed different regions northern hemisphere range 1.0 4.7 km.
