Welcome to the LibreCube Documentation!

At LibreCube we want to make space accessible to everyone! We believe that space exploration is relevant to all humankind and everyone should be given the chance to learn and contribute to it.

We start small. That is, small in size, but not in vision. Our systems are inspired from the modular CubeSat standard, which sparked a revolution in making space more accessible.

We are creating an ecosystem of modular components (electrical power systems, navigation modules, onboard computers, and so on) that can be assembled together to form systems for space and terrestrial exploration, such as satellites, drones, rovers, and more!

Everything we develop is based on these three principles:

  • Open Source: We publish everything open source and we use open source tools for all our projects.
  • Standards: We apply freely available standards (mostly from the space domain) for our system designs.
  • Modularity: We create an ecosystem of reusable, modular elements with standardized interfaces.

For Users

If you want to use individual elements or software libraries of the LibreCube ecosystem for your project, or perhaps you may want to use entire example systems from LibreCube, then have a look at the User Guide to help you get you started quickly!

For Developers

We welcome contributors with different skill levels and expertise, no matter if you are expert or beginner. Please have head to the Developer Guide to learn how to start contributing!
