[João Gonçalves Costa]

Winners of Space App Competition announced

The AMSAT-UK FUNcube team are among the winners in a competition to fly an Android App on the amateur radio Smartphone satellite STRaND-1 due for launch next year.

Space technology experts from Surrey Satellite Technology (SSTL) and the Surrey Space Centre (SSC) at the University of Surrey announced on Wednesday the four lucky winners of the 'Space App Competition' who will see their Android Applications run on smartphone-powered satellite STRaND-1, due for launch into space next year.

'The STRaND Data' app will show satellite telemetry on the smartphone's display which can be imaged by an additional camera on-board. This app is developed by the team behind the AMSAT-UK FUNcube satellite and will not only enable new graphical telemetry to interpret trends but also provide a last way of communicating with the smartphone.
