The Everyday Computers Powering the SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket | Excellent Engineering

The device you’re using to watch this video is magnitudes faster than the computers that controlled rockets up until recently. But what about modern rockets like the SpaceX Falcon 9? Does it use some special type of computer? Or does it use normal hardware found in your laptop or desktop? And how do these computers work to control a machine as complex as a rocket? In this video we will answer these questions while specifically referencing the SpaceX Falcon 9. The Falcon 9 is SpaceX’s workhorse of a rocket, with over one hundred successful flights in a row over the past 5 years. Most computers used to control spacecraft and rockets have to be built specifically for the task due to the radiation and strict requirements. But SpaceX has taken a somewhat novel approach with their rockets, using hardware that is used by everyday people... well... everyday!
