“This is a very important step in the development of NovaNano Launch<br />
Services on the global nanosatellite market, as we sign with our first customer<br />
from South Korea. We are delighted and proud to support the mission of OSSI<br />
to launch the first satellite made by an individual into orbit and consequently to<br />
bring space closer to general public.”<br />
About OSSI<br />
<strong>Open</strong> <strong>Source</strong> <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Initiative</strong> is a project by artist Hojun Song started in<br />
2008. The goal of OSSI is to lower entry barriers of space programs, so nonscience<br />
people can also contribute with various ideas. For this, OSSI has<br />
been collecting commercial components that were used in successful space<br />
programs to build a cheap and a D.I.Y.-able satellite platform while keeping all<br />
the basic satellite functionalities.<br />
Also to raise attentions, OSSI has been giving talks on accessible space<br />
programs, having art exhibitions, and making films, books, website for easy<br />
information delivery.<br />
When the launch will be successful and the satellite will work, all the<br />
information on how to build the satellite and on the process of launching the<br />
satellite will be fully shared via OSSI website.<br />
Hojun Song believes, with the help of out-of-box thoughts from general<br />
people, OSSI will lead the similar revolution that had been happened in<br />
computer history.<br />
