Issue #206 - Thomas

This week we saw the end of the European Astro Pi Challenge, and winning students across ESA countries received their data back from the International Space Station. With Thomas Pesquet returning to earth today after a successful Proxima mission, we look forward to future Astro Pi Challenges.

This June we’ve changed our colours in support of Pride Month. As a not-for-profit, charitable organisation, the Raspberry Pi Foundation exists to put digital making into the hands of everyone. And by supporting movements such as Pride Month, as well as the LGBTQ+ community at large, we want to promote a safe, welcoming environment for all. You’ll find our Raspberry Pride logo, plus an awesome Pride Month cover image, across all our social media accounts.

As always, we’ve filled this week’s Raspberry Pi Weekly with some great articles and projects, along with links to more cool projects and downloads that we think you’ll enjoy. So sit back, relax, and have a wonderful week. We’ll see you next Friday.

Peace,

Alex
