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.
