Cornwall Live reports that radio amateur David Honess M6DNT has been
awarded a prestigious space achievement honour for his Astro Pi work with
the Tim Peake GB1SS Principia mission.

David Honess M6DNT was presented with a Sir Arthur Clarke Award, on behalf
of the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation and the British Interplanetary Society,
for Space Achievement Industry/Project Individual.

This came after Mr Honess and his Astro Pi project which installed two
Raspberry Pis (Izzy and Ed) on to the International Space Station as the
platform for students to run their own code in space and speak with Major
Tim Peake GB1SS.

Mr Honess has been the driving force behind getting two UK designed and
manufactured Astro Pi computers onto the International Space Station to
provide a unique facility to inspire children and adults to learn to code.
