The Palindrome

A researcher shares the complete journey of developing and executing a space experiment on the ISS, from grant proposal to data analysis. The project involved building an iOS app to study IMU sensor behavior in microgravity and reconstruct movement trajectories using inertial data. Key challenges included learning Swift/iOS development from scratch, navigating NASA and Apple Store approval processes, managing tight launch windows and delays, and coordinating with international space agencies. The experiment successfully collected data comparing sensor behavior on Earth versus microgravity, with preliminary trajectory reconstructions showing promising results.
