Arduino

Arduino is an open-source hardware and software company that produces microcontrollers and development boards. While not a primary space agency or manufacturer, Arduino technology plays a role in space-related projects, particularly in prototyping, data acquisition, and educational initiatives. Arduino boards have been used in nanosatellites like ArduSat for sensor control and data collection and are valued for their ease of use and low cost in experimental settings. The company's products are utilized by researchers and students, sometimes in partnership with organizations like the European Space Agency (ESA), for developing and testing space-bound technologies.
