Open Source Cubesat Workshop 2021 Video Presentation about Open Research Institute narrated by Michelle Thompson W5NYV
A
Hello,
everybody
I'm
michelle
thompson,
w5nyv
and
I'm
here
to
tell
you
all
about
what
open
research
institute
is
and
what
we
have
been
doing
open
research
institute.
Ori
is
a
non-profit
research
and
development
organization,
which
provides
all
of
its
work
to
the
general
public
under
the
principles
of
open
source
and
open
access
to
research.
A
As
we
all
know,
these
mean
particular
things
and
those
things
have
to
be
defined
and
they
have
to
be
defended.
Open
source
is
a
type
of
intellectual
property
management,
where
everything
you
need
to
recreate
or
modify
a
design
is
freely
available.
As
a
baseline,
we
use
gpl
version
3.0
for
software
and
the
cern
open
hardware
license
version
2.0
for
hardware.
A
All
we
do
is
open
source
work
primarily
for
amateur
radio,
space
and
terrestrial,
but
also
some
other
fields,
as
you
will
see.
So
who
are
we
here's
our
current
board
and
our
immediate
past
ceo,
bruce
parents?
We
have
one
opening
on
the
board
as
ben
hilburn,
one
of
our
founders
very
recently
retired,
from
being
an
active
director
at
ori.
A
A
Board
members
are
experienced
in
management,
engineering
operations
and
technology,
and
three
out
of
the
current
number
of
four
are
from
underrepresented
groups
in
stem
as
a
board.
It
is
our
mission
to
serve
our
participants,
developers
and
community
members.
We
now
have
at
least
535
people
that
participate
in
what
we
call
the
open
source
triad,
our
mailing
list,
our
slack
and
github.
A
A
What
do
we
do?
Here's
a
visual
summary
of
top-level
projects
and
initiatives.
The
vertical
axis
is
risk
higher
risk
projects
are
at
the
top
and
lower
risk
projects
are
at
the
bottom.
Maturity
increases
left
to
right.
Maturity
may
indicate
schedule,
but
the
score
is
also
influenced
by
complexity
or
difficulty.
A
The
color
of
the
shape
indicates
how
much
stress
that
project
is
under
or
what
the
risk
level
is
at
this
time
the
size
of
the
shape
is
the
budget
estimate.
By
far
the
largest
budget,
riskiest
and
least
mature
work
is
in
the
aquaphage
project,
which
is
an
open
source.
Bacteriophage
research
and
development.
A
Bacteriophage
are
viruses
that
attack
and
destroy
bacteria.
This
is
a
biomedical
project
and
not
amateur
radio.
This
project
has
been
halted
by
covid
and
has
not
yet
resumed
our
digital
multiplexing
payload
project
is
called
p4dx
and
it's
in
the
middle
in
green.
This
is
a
multiple
access,
microwave
digital,
regenerating
repeater
for
space
and
terrestrial
development
channels.
Divided
in
frequency
are
the
uplink.
The
uplink
is
on
5
gigahertz,
the
processor
on
the
payload,
digitizes
and
multiplexes.
These
signals
and
uses
dvb
s2x
as
the
single
time
division
downlink.
The
downlink
is
on
10
gigahertz.
A
The
system
adapts
to
channel
conditions
and
handles
things
like
quality
of
service
decisions,
for
example,
low
and
high
latency
digital
content.
The
uplink
is
divided
up
using
a
polyphase
channelizer,
based
on
the
open
source
work
done
by
theseus
cores
for
the
current
prototype.
We
are
only
using
impact
transport
stream,
but
generic
data
is
the
goal
with
gse.
A
The
prototype
beacon
signal
is
five
megahertz
wide
and
we
are
using
one
modulation
and
one
error
coding
at
this
time-
we're
not
yet
rotating
through
all
of
the
allowed
combinations
in
dvb,
s2
and
s2x.
Yet
our
prototype
work
can
also
serve
as
a
terrestrial
multimedia
beacon.
Work
was
demonstrated
to
groups
with
mountaintop
spaces
in
october.
2021
and
deployment
will
be
as
soon
as
possible.
A
M17
project
is
an
open
source,
vhf
uhf
radio
protocol
think
open
source,
digital
mode,
hts
and
repeaters.
This
project
is
only
slightly
more
stressed
than
p40x,
but
it's
further
along
in
maturity,
because
it's
narrower
in
scope,
we
believe
m17
project
will
be
very
successful
from
current
development
to
scaling
up
to
commercial
product
launch.
The
m17
protocol
is
the
native
digital
uplink
protocol,
with
some
modifications
for
microwave
for
p4dx.
A
We
are
working
hard
to
get
m17
on
and
through
more
satellites
and
on
more
sounding
rocket
tests.
Today,
engineers
general
is
our
initiative
to
hire
highly
competent,
open
source
workers
to
reduce
burnout
and
increase
quality
and
open
source
work
important
to
amateur
radio.
We
have
one
contractor
currently
eight
resumes
and
have
applied
for
funding
for
two
more.
A
We
are
actively
looking
for
funding
for
the
remaining
five.
The
bird
bath
is
a
large
dish
antenna
at
the
huntsville
space
and
rocket
center.
This
was
used
in
the
past
but
has
been
parked
for
decades.
It
took
two
years
of
negotiation,
but
ori
has
the
support
of
the
museum
and
permission
to
begin
work.
Renovating
this
dish
for
citizen
science
and
amateur
radio,
educational
use
work
parties
from
earlier
this
year
were
rescheduled
due
to
covid
upper
right.
A
This
is
a
huge
step
forward
for
not
just
amateur
radio,
but
anyone
that
wants
to
contribute
to
open
source
space
work,
debris
mitigation,
regulatory
work
took
10
months
to
complete
the
process,
culminated
in
a
highly
successful
meeting
with
the
fcc
wireless
telecommunications
board.
The
office
of
engineering
technology
and
the
satellite
bureau
in
late
october,
2021
lower
right,
is
battery
matching
a
project
that
matches
nicad
cells
for
very
durable
batteries
in
the
style
that
used
to
be
done
in
amateur
satellites
and
puts
the
methods
and
documentation
in
the
public
domain.
A
A
We
had
one
kick
butt
professional
volunteer,
who
was
working
on
a
10,
gigahertz
beacon
that
would
go
on
to
the
sensor
connector
on
the
main
board,
but
the
project
was
moving
slowly
overall
and
ori
decided
to
provide
additional
operational
support.
Additional
volunteers
joined
the
team.
We
reviewed
the
finances
and
then
took
some
actions.
We
updated
the
main
ambisat
board
to
move
it
from
the
ism
band.
It
was
in
to
the
70
centimeter
handband.
We
improved
power
and
ground
and
addressed
some
other
design
concerns.
A
A
We
decided
to
look
at
combining
the
70
centimeter
ambisat
with
another
open
source
satellite
board
to
make
a
combined
spacecraft
design.
I
reached
out
to
pieros
papadias
at
libra
space,
and
we
are
moving
forward
with
using
the
satnags
coms
project.
We
look
forward
to
contributing
to
the
fpga
code
base
and
flying
both
ambisat
and
satnag's
coms
designs
as
early
and
as
often
as
possible,
starting
with
sounding
rockets
and
ending
up
in
space.
A
A
A
Here's
what's
been
going
on
since
march,
and
the
future
plans
that
we
know
about,
we
use
agile
framework
for
management,
and
most
of
us
have
some
sort
of
formal
certification
either
completed
or
in
process.
This
is
the
agile
manifesto
and
it
is
the
foundation
of
how
our
board
decides
things
and
how
it
supports.
Project
leads
and
volunteers.
A
Where
are
we
here's
the
locations
of
the
concentrations
of
current
major
contributors
and
participants?
When
we
say
international,
we
mean
it,
our
participants
have
a
wide
range
of
ages,
are
generally
educated
in
engineering,
come
from
a
variety
of
backgrounds,
but
they
do
tend
to
be
relatively
young
and
male.
A
A
We
have
relocated
our
second
remote
lab
equipment
from
u.s
florida
to
u.s
arkansas
and
have
added
a
three-dish
interferometry
site
for
amateur
radio
and
public
science
use
remote
labs
are
here
for
you
all
to
use.
If
you
need
or
want
large
fpga
resources
and
test
equipment
up
to
six
gigahertz,
then
we
have
your
back.
A
We
bought
open
lunar
foundation's
satellite
lab
it's
in
storage,
waiting
for
the
m17
project,
lab
construction
to
conclude,
and
then
the
equipment
will
go
there
to
pack
that
lab
full
of
wonderful
test
equipment,
materials
and
supplies.
Why
do
this?
We
believe
that
an
open
source
approach
to
things
like
amateur
digital
communications,
bacteriophage,
research
and
sticking
up
for
the
non-commercial
use
of
space
will
result
in
the
best
possible
outcomes
for
the
good
of
humanity.
