Libre Space Foundation

In 2014 the founders of the Libre Space Foundation participated in NASA's SpaceApps Challenge at the Athens Hackerspace with their SatNOGS project, an open source network of ground stations.

[2] UPSat was a project of the Libre Space Foundation in collaboration with the University of Patras to launch a 2U Cubesat participating in the QB50 mission to study Earth's thermosphere.

[6] QUBIK-3 and QUBIK-4 were launched a year later in October 2022 on Firefly Alpha's second flight,[7] which got in a lower orbit than planned resulting in the satellites reentering into the atmosphere a few days later.

[8] The Libre Space Foundation reported that PicoBus successfuly deployed the satellites and that they were operating perfectly for two days before their re-entry.

[16] SatNOGS-COMMS is is an ultra-high frequency (UHF) and S-band radio transceiver for spacecraft in Earth's orbit, featuring tight integration with the SatNOGS Network.

The first SatNOGS-COMMS was used for Curium One, a 12U CubeSat by Planetary Transportation Systems in partnership with the Libre Space Foundation, which launched in July 2024 on Ariane flight VA262.

[20] The Libre Space Foundation has also created MetaSat, an open metadata schema to link the data, software, and hardware of small satellite missions, in collaboration with the Harvard and Smithsonian Center of Astrophysics Walbach Library.
