Last week #‎DassaultSystèmes‬ was present at school 42 to set forth the winner from our Cup of IoT 1st edition contest, the Ultrascope project !

ULTRASCOPE is a global citizen science initiative developed to support NASA’s Asteroid Grand Challenge.

ULTRASCOPE is an Automated Robotic Observatory (ARO) that can be constructed and used by ‘DIY Engineers’ and Citizen Scientists. The data to locate asteroids approaching Earth is sent to the scope from large sky surveys.

ULTRASCOPE aims to bridge this gap by radically reducing the cost of pro-level observations as well as providing a pathway for amateur astronomers to build the skills to contribute to this Grand challenge.
