Orbiting more than 300 miles above Earth, a tiny satellite with a laboratory shrunk to the size of a tissue box is helping scientists carry out experiments that take gravity out of the equation.

I am not totally up to date on what Michael is up to but there definitely have been several open source projects in this area supported by JA. I am sure you will come across more projects run by others if you cast your net wider.
