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.
- vodou 1y agoNot just students TBH...
- jdiez17 1y agoSeems 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.
- Sanzig 1y agoEmail sent. I am generally very busy with family commitments but happy to stay in touch.

- marcosdumay 1y agoWell, 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.

- Sanzig 1y agoNot really. There are a couple of open source projects (LibreCube being the biggest example) but they aren't flight-ready.
- Palomides 1y agohave you seen https://github.com/the-aerospace-corporation/satcat5 https://github.com/the-aerospace-corporation/satcat5 ? sadly I don't have the FPGA skills to play with it, but the features are very cool
