Yep, but students love reinventing the wheel ;). I agree though, my dream for years has been an open source CubeSat bus design that covers say 80% of academic CubeSat use cases and can be modified by the user for the other 20%. Unfortunately I have very little free time these days with family commitments. | |||||||||||||||||

Well, the point of a student's project is to reinvent the wheel. One should limit the number of wheels being reinvented each time, though. What would also reduce the time-to-space of those projects. The design should cover 100% of the CubeSat, so the students can redesign any part they want. | |||||||||||||||||

Seems like we have similar thoughts as we wrote more or less the same comment 10 minutes apart :) Would love to chat about this, maybe we figure out a way to get there? Email is on my profile. | |||||||||||||||||
