The Explorer is a rotorcraft.
It is used to test :

The aircraft flies an Apogee or a Tawaki autopilot board.
Explorer/PPRZ

The RaspberryPi provides: - a camera link - an additional communication link - an easy way to run computation tasks.

There are two RaspberryPi :
- on board, as a companion board to the autopilot
- on ground, as an interface to the companion board

The RPI Zero and RPI 3B can be used in this aircraft as they provided at least one UART and one USB
