Does an HP calc go along with space missions anymore
Hi all,

Yeah yeah. We’re living in the era of the laptop and smartphones with HP calc apps. I’m interested to know if calcs such as the 48 series or the 67/97 or even the 41 system are part of a mission's toolkit.

As I recall, one of the last Shuttle Mission Pictures had shown an HP48.

I guess that's part of the "Astro Pi" STEM project to get kids interested in space.
