Netbooks on LAGO

"The data are then collected via a serial line by an acquisition PC, and stored for data analysis. Replacing the acquisition PC by a single board PC or a low cost laptop with SSD drive is foreseen to minimise the impact of the harsh high altitude environment."

The Large Aperture Gamma Ray Burst Observatory (LAGO) collaboration is planning to use Netbooks for their Data Acquisition System.

These are physicists from:France, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, USA, Peru, Spain, Italy, and Bolivia.

Consumer electronics helps scientific research.
