    Here it is one video of our autopilot testings. It includes a attitude estimator, 3x accelerometers, 3x gyroscopes, 3x magnetic vectors, 3x wind-speed, 1x barometer, 1x temperature, 1x voltage supply, GPS with longitude, latitude, 3x ground-speed, and time. The RadioLink is 2.4GHz @ 19.2kbps with a sampler frequency of 50Hz.

    As just we finished all the ground station software, we are just gathering all the widgets like this artificial horizon shown in the previous video. The final ground station will include a 3DGoogleEarth map, a compass, a flight plan… all kind of widgets to do easier the following of the SpaceFish from ground.

    The screen that you can see at the left side is the Status Panel, where we can check all the calculations of the micro-controllers on board.
