This post details a real-world experiment demonstrating Temporal's Durable Execution capabilities by launching a Raspberry Pi running a Temporal worker into space via a weather balloon. The experiment involved writing a Python Workflow that invoked an Activity every five seconds to process sensor data (GPS, altitude). The system successfully handled connectivity loss in the upper atmosphere and resumed operations upon reconnection, showcasing Temporal's fault tolerance. The post also briefly mentions the use of Temporal Workflows for orbital computer simulations in Kerbal Space Program.
