Libre Space Foundation

Space Situational Awareness is critical to avoiding collisions, ensuring mission success, & keeping outer space safe & sustainable. To support this, we've designed & developed SIDLOC: a proposed standard for satellite and spacecraft identification & localization to make space safer. sidloc.org

📌Aboard our PICOBUS v2, which flew to space on #Transporter18 a few days ago, was also @amsat-dl.org's ERMINAZ-2 mission, with 3 educational PocketQubes. 🛰️🛰️🛰️ ERMINAZ-2U has been received with the help of SatNOGS 📡, and you can find the observation at: network.satnogs.org/observations...

📌 Following its journey aboard #Transporter18, NIS-PQ is alive and has been received by the SatNOGS Νetwork. Watch the mission unfold with us: •📡 Observation: network.satnogs.org/observations... •💻 Live Dashboard: dashboard.satnogs.org/d/eg04ajqcp7...

📌For us, every week is #WorldSpaceWeek! As we continuously collaborate with a diverse community of researchers, organisations, universities, space enthusiasts & students from all over the world to Make Space Accessible to Everyone! Happy World Space Week!✨ #WSW2026 www.libre.space

🛰️ NIS-PQ, part of our new mission onboard PICOBUS V2, has been received with the help of SatNOGS 📡

We are heading back to orbit🛰️✨! Our #opensource PICOBUSv2 deployer will fly on SpaceX's Transporter-18, inside UARX Space's OSSIE-D, carrying 8 QUBIK-based PocketQubes: 🛰️ 1 NIS-PQ (Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools) 🛰️ 3 ERMINAZ-2 (AMSAT-DL) 🛰️ 4 SIDLOC-PQ (Libre Space Foundation)

🎉4 years ago, Libre Space Foundation's QUBIK-3 & 4, along with PICOBUS, returned to space aboard Firefly Aerospace's Alpha Flight 2. #ToTheBlack🚀 As we prepare for yet another mission, we celebrate this milestone & keep working to make…𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞! 🌎️🌍️🌏️ www.libre.space

📌Tomorrow, the Libre Space Foundation is sending another #opensource mission to space!🛰️ We're returning to orbit aboard SpaceX's #Transporter18, and in the coming days, we'll share details about our new mission. Stay tuned... 🔗 libre.space ▶️ spacex.com/launches/tra...

📌Important update regarding #OSCW: Despite our best efforts to make it happen, forces outside our control have made it impossible to host the event this year. Sadly, OSCW will be cancelled for 2026. We’re shifting our focus toward next year’s edition. Keep an eye out for updates ❤️🚀

🎉On this day in 2017, #UPsat 🛰️ was deployed from the #InternationalSpaceStation. The first-ever #opensource satellite to be launched! All subsystems were designed from scratch and manufactured by the Libre Space Foundation, kick-starting a new era in #spacetech. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPSat#:....

Day #3 at the Dayton Hamvention! Drop by booths 1005 and 1006 in Building 1 to check out some of our #opensource projects on display. #Hamvention2026 #SatNOGS #SatNOGSKits #SIDLOC #QUBIK hamvention.org

Day #2 at the Dayton Hamvention! hamvention.org

⏳Only a few days left before the Dayton Hamvention begins! The Libre Space Foundation and SatNOGS teams will be at the conference, and if you are attending as well, feel free to stop by and connect with them. #Hamvention2026 #opensource #radioamateur Find out more about the event at: hamvention.org

⏳Only a few weeks left before the Dayton Hamvention begins! Libre Space Foundation and SatNOGS teams will be at the Conference, excited to participate in the world's largest #amateurradio gathering! #Hamvention2026 #opensource #radioamateur Find out more about the event at: hamvention.org

📌 Οur friends at @freecad.org are launching the first-ever community design contest, in partnership with @labcrafter.co.uk. The 2026 Contest focuses on #OpenScience hardware, inviting participants to design an open hardware pinch valve. Find out more at: blog.freecad.org/2026/05/01/f...

🤔 How will these missions help us better understand the new laser communication technologies? 🛰️ 🇬🇷 Multiple CubeSats are launching within the Greek Connectivity programme. @esa.int 's Greek Connectivity Programme Manager Frederic tells us 🗣️ #GreekCubeSats

📌Join us this weekend at @fosdem.org for a two-day event dedicated to promoting free & #opensource software. Both the Libre Space Foundation and the SatNOGS team members will be roaming the event. Reach out to us via social media or via the contact form on our site. libre.space/contact-info/

Successful launch of four of our missions! On Friday 28 Nov, 7 CubeSats were launched into space 🚀 They will provide services from better spectrum use understanding and improved ship tracking, to helping agriculture and ecosystem tech in remote areas 🌊🚢🚜🖲️

Cleaner airwaves and safer seas from space! 🇬🇷🛰️ Three Greek CubeSats – developed by @librespace.bsky.social and Prisma Electronics – have successfully launched. They will detect unauthorized radio use and track ships, helping protect global trade and communication. www.esa.int/Applications...
