This project was my group's final project for a Human Space Flight class I took at Columbia University in Spring 2018. The idea was that NASA and their ISS astronauts could create an automated and instant-access inventory management system on the ISS by placing a RFID reader and microcontroller in each of their several hundred Cargo Transfer Bags (CTB). The system would be able to identify every item inside its bag as each item would have an attached RFID tag. Each microcontroller could connect wirelessly to a central computer that tracks the entire inventory of the ISS.
The software for this project is written in Python and is intended to run on a Raspberry Pi. The code is available here.
