🚀 Flatsat 1: The Hackable Spaceboard
Flatsat 1 is a hardware based training platform designed to be vulnerable — on purpose. It’s built for hackers, engineers, and space enthusiasts who want to dive deep into space-grade systems, learn cybersecurity concepts, and prototype their own payloads.
🧩 What You Can Do With Flatsat
- Hands-on Learning – Use Flatsat as the hardware companion to the PwnSat course, with structured lessons on binary exploitation, secure communication, reverse engineering, and space protocols.
- Hack Real Vulnerabilities – Explore and exploit firmware designed to simulate real-world satellite systems and vulnerabilities. It’s a safe playground for learning and discovery.
- Join the Mission CTF – Participate in space-themed capture-the-flag challenges that simulate real satellite operation scenarios. Your board becomes your spacecraft!
- Prototype Your Payloads – Use the onboard components to develop and test your own payload logic, radio communication, or telemetry systems before launching bigger projects.
🧪 Onboard Components
- RP2040 – Powerful MCU for comms and simulation.
- 2 x SX1262 – LoRa radios for realistic space-ground communication scenarios.
- LIS2DH – 3-axis accelerometer for sensor data emulation and tampering challenges.
- BME280 – Environmental sensor for telemetry testing.
- Open Documentation – Github Wiki with Getting Started.
- OpenHardware – Schematics and Firmware .
📡 Frequency Safety Notice
Flatsat uses ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band frequencies for all RF communication — typically 433 MHz or 915 MHz, depending on your region. These frequencies are internationally reserved for unlicensed, experimental, and educational use.
We do not use sensitive or restricted space communication bands like:
- ❌ X-band
- ❌ Ka-band
- ❌ S-band
This ensures that Flatsat does not interfere with any production space systems, licensed satellites, or critical ground infrastructure.
Flatsat is designed to help you learn and prototype radio systems safely and legally — all while gaining real-world skills in RF communication, signal analysis, and protocol fuzzing.
🔒 Train like a pro, without breaking the rules.
