Does it need to be a job? If not, you can build your own low orbit satellites, scale rockets, satellites communications, aquatic robotics and more. In fact, aquatic robotics are one of the most approachable ones because you can do it in a nearby lake/river/beach and do proper science. Plus you can team up with local scientists and help them gather/process data.
- kilroy123 9y agoYou just gave me so many ideas for fun side projects.
- pryelluw 9y agoFeel free to ping me for any more ideas or help :)
- dfischer 9y agocan you really build a satellite as a hobby project ?
- pryelluw 9y agoYes, there are things like cube-sats. Problem is affording the launch price. ;)
- chrisallenlane 9y agoEven building a cube-sat that never leaves your desk would be an interesting hobby project, really. Non-experts would certainly learn a ton from doing so, and you'd end up with a cool conversation piece, if nothing else.
- pryelluw 9y agoAbsolutely. It's why building one is on my todo list. Although it could be attached to a weather balloon and still be useful for scientific testing.
