Federation is an initiative instigated by the National French Space Angency (CNES). It's mission is to open up the ecosystem of space infrastructure while giving every citizen the agency and access to the knowledge necessary to participate in the process of creating our future world. We believe that the necessary knowledge and hardware can be developed and produced collaboratively, openly and responsibly. We are open to everyone who wants to contribute in the creation of an open infrastructure meeting contemporary challenges such as: protection of our planet, atmosphere and univers, space habitat, science and research, space culture and education. We develop our community on line and in fablabs, makerspaces, hackerspaces and anywhere where collaborative manufacturing tools are available.
