OPEN SOURCE SPACE EXPLORATION

An ecosystem of community-driven projects to enable everyone to develop and utilize space technology

LibreCube – Open Source Space Exploration

Our vision is to let everyone be involved in building systems for space exploration.

We believe that science and technology should be available to all.

Everything that is developed at LibreCube is free and open source and available to everyone.

  • Open Source: We publish everything as open source and we use open source tools for all our projects.
  • Free and Open Standards: We apply freely available and open (space) standards for our system designs.
  • Reference Architecture: We create an ecosystem of reusable, modular elements with standardized interfaces.
