Design

This section contains links to a variety of internally and externally hosted projects.

The internal projects together form parts of a program to develop an open-source modular spacecraft design that cna be used as a basis for future development.

Please feel welcome to contibute to any of the projects, or just to browse.

The idea behind the internally hosted projects is to share designs, whilst recognising copyright of the individual, but only to charge if a design is used for commercial gain.

This principle allows free access to designs for amateur builders and an opportunity for commercial companies to assess a range of ideas and designs, but without incurring charges or copyright difficulties unless subsequently incorporated into a commercial craft.

A principle of re-usable modular design is adopted throughout this section. There is no gain to continually re-invent the wheel.

Thanks for your interest.
