Make space hardware cheaper. Make open contribution a real career.
AOSSI will publish its designs openly, so space hardware gets cheaper and easier to reach. It will pay contributors a share of net revenue, if there is any, so contributing can be a real career. No equity. No gatekeeping. No cost-plus incentives.
Open designs exist. Revenue contracts exist. The combination is rare: a commons that grows, and pay worth a top builder's time.
Open licenses
Contractors paid only by a share of net revenue, if there is any
Export-control review before every release
Principles
Participation is voluntary. Nobody gets drafted.
Leading means more work, not more rank. Everyone is a peer.
Experiment is king: no experiment, no project.
Open by default.
The family
Regardless Industries: the parent company. It will own and run the ventures.
AOSRI (Acme Open-Source Research Initiative): its job is to replicate research and check it before AOSSI builds on it.
acme.academy: planned. Courses and certificates of understanding for people without degrees.
