Here are this week's 3 links worth exploring:
-
Debian GNU/Linux has the concept of "pure blends". These are not forks of the Debian distribution, but rather curated collections of Debian packages dedicated to a specific purpose or task. One of these pure blends is Debian Astro. Its purpose is to meet the requirements of both professional and hobby astronomers. It integrates a large number of software packages covering telescope control, data reduction, presentation and other fields: https://blends.debian.org/astro/

The Open Source Satellite (OSSAT) programme is committed to bringing open source philosophy and practices to space. Their mission is to develop a completely open small satellite platform. Its design and tools will be accessible to anyone who desires to participate, and they seek to grow a community of contributors and users that will expand both spacecraft design and access to space-based resources: https://www.opensourcesatellite.org/
