Dostaliśmy na maila kontaktowego. Może kogoś zainteresuje. Dear Space Hackers, > > My name is Jedrzej and I'm a Ph.D. student at Wroclaw University of > Technology. Excuse me that I start our communication in English. Reason to > do so is strictly related to my question and other people involved in idea > which I'm about to introduce. > > As a Ph.D. student I do my best in order to combine Space Education and > Computer Science especially in terms of hands-on experience. Because of > that I decide to start working on educational project called FREDE (FREon > Decay Experiment look at www.wsag.pl). A part of scientific and technical > goal project aims to give our students real hands-on experience in space > domain. In order to make it happen I decide to use my experience gained > from ESA Education Office and start mentioned project as a part of > REXUS/BEXUS program (look at www.rexusbexus.net). It's quite a challenge > but this is where I do my hacking with other students. > > At the moment I'm in contact with German group of hackers from Stuttgart ( > aerospaceresearch.net) in particular with Andreas Hornig (person in cc). > We intend to extend features of our stratospheric experiment. We want to > make it happen through experimental implementation of DGSN (Distributed > Ground Station Network). Of course DGSN implementation will go open source > just like all components of FREDE experiment. In order to make it possible > we want to use Space GAMBIT founding (www.spacegambit.org/). According to > our research we need to use some of existing Polish Space Hackers > institution to gain that sponsorship. This is why I want to ask you to help > us with this project idea. In case of any questions I'm here to answer > them. If you like I can provide you some official documents related to my > activities plus latest FREDE documentation. > > In general we need your organization to help us organizing money but your > fellow hackers are also kindly invited to be part of this project. > > Of course I'm open for face to face meetings. > > I'll be happy to get your feedback. > > With kind regards, > > Jedrzej Gorski > > P.S. Here are some details. > > FREDE (FREon Decay Experiment) aims at better understanding how selected > CFC compounds interact with Earth's Atmosphere at high and low altitude > conditions, especially with the test compound exposed to altitudes that > range up to 25 km above Polar Circle. The results obtained should lead to > conclusions which might bring new scientific facts about ozone depletion > process and greenhouse effect (science). To design and build mobile > installation used for airborne experiments related to air quality research > and measurements (engineering). > > DGSN (Distributed Ground Station Network) aims to track small satellite by > means of distributed ground stations. >
