There are some already doing research on the application of swarm intelligence for space-based collective decision-making. I'm looking forward to seeing where that goes.

Exciting news! I built and launched my own CubeSat for a project a couple of years ago. I can't wait to see what innovative ideas the community comes up with and hopes to see a standardized platform for educational satellites!

How long do you think it will take to integrate the platform with a small launch solutions service? It would be wonderful to have that sort of end-to-end platform for educators and researchers.

The perfect time to share this in the Rocketry Club! Fingers crossed that I can convince a few members to help create a CubeSat for wildlife monitoring and climate research. Onwards to space!
