Making Space Open Making Space Open

Autonomous Non-profit Organization «Space Education Development» with Geoscan’s support has initiated the International Scientific and Practical Conference «Making Space Open 2024», focusing on all current areas of development in open space technologies used on satellites and ground stations, as well as space education and the popularization of such topics both in our country and around the world.

This event should bring together experts and enthusiasts dedicated to the development of open space technologies and educational infrastructure. It will serve as a platform for exchanging ideas, sharing methods, and collaborating on solutions to pressing challenges. On behalf of the organizing committee, we invite all relevant Russian and foreign specialists to participate in the conference.

Manifest

Open space represents humanity’s opportunity to conduct research, to advance science and technology, to use new technologies, and to move towards prosperity in a new way. This path will be a reliable guarantee of long-term, continuous, and free access to technologies, with equal opportunities for all humankind.

To accomplish this, we adhere to the following principles:

1. All people have the right to explore and use outer space for the benefit and in the interests of all humanity.

2. The exploration and use of outer space are carried out jointly and cooperativel.

3. Outer space is used exclusively for peaceful purposes.

4. Profit-making is not the driving force behind space exploration.

5. All people should have access to outer space, space technologies, and space data.

To achieve these principles, we must rely on he following pillars:

Open Source / Any technologies developed for outer space should be published and licensed under open-source software licenses.

Open Data / All data related to outer space and produced there should be freely accessible, freely usable by anyone, anywhere, and should be shared and managed in accordance with the principles outlined above.

Open Development / All technologies for outer space should be developed in a transparent, understandable, well-documented, verifiable, modular, and efficient manner.

Open Governance / All technologies for outer space should be governed based on approaches of collaborative, direct and distributed participation and cooperation.
