Whilst there are examples in many software and some hardware business of the commercial success and sustainability of the open source approach, the philosophy is still very much in its infancy in the space domain.
The few examples of open source missions have been limited to very small satellites (PocketQubes and Cubesats), with a primary focus on technology demonstration within the academic...
Despite efforts, large quantities of space debris end up in various orbits threatening, not only current and future missions, but also space exploration as a whole. The addition of mega constellations will most likely only worsen the probability of collisions and visual exploration. Added to this, there is the fast-growing telecommunications industry, and with cube-sats becoming more in...

Amateur rocketry is abundant with global uptake of High Power rocketry through organisations like the Tripoli, NAR, UKRA. We see organisations like Copenhagen sub orbitals build large scale projects with a roadmap towards human flight beyond the Karman line. We also see innumerable student teams building larger airframes, for projects such as the Spaceport America Cup, we see limited...
A round table discussion on the future of Open Source Cubesat Workshop, its audience, possible directions, broader ecosystem and format considerations.
A round table discussion on the developments so far of the open source cubesat community and industry.
The goal of this round table is to bring together developers, integrators and operators of open source (or partially open source) cubesat missions, to identify synergies, gaps and opportunities, in an effort to map a way forward as a broader roadmap with milestones.
OSCW is the perfect...
