This page lists projects and groups hosted by DevelopSpace. DevelopSpace intends to host projects and groups that relevant to DevelopSpace's mission of building up the technical foundations for human space activities. Projects/groups do not need to be created or operated DevelopSpace in order to be hosted here -- if you would like additional information on hosting your project with DevelopSpace, please contact [[user:pwooster|Paul Wooster]].

=Official DevelopSpace Projects=
Projects formally created and operated by DevelopSpace.

*[[DS Information Systems|DevelopSpace Information Systems Project]]. Effort intended to foster the establishment and support of DevelopSpace's information systems, including project hosting infrastructure. This is where to discuss features you would like to see included as part of the DevelopSpace platform.

*[[DS Open Source Engineering Tools|DevelopSpace Open Source Engineering Tools Project]]. Aims to catalog, review, aid in the use of, and encourage the creation and enhancement of open source tools for engineering.

WikiSysop:

'''Welcome to the DevelopSpace.net Wiki Page'''

DevelopSpace is an effort to enable a wide variety of individuals and groups to participate in the exploration and development of space through the open creation and sharing of ideas, information, and designs.

At present this idea is in its infancy. This website is dedicated to bringing the DevelopSpace concept into being -- it is intended for those involved in exploring the possibilities of the idea and making it happen. The content on this site is intended to grow over time. Please add relevant items and help in expanding the information available here. You can modify a page by clicking the "edit" button at the top.

Observations leading to the DevelopSpace concept

The following is a list of a few observations I made prior to and during the formulation of the DevelopSpace concept. Taken together, these observations provide motivation for the creation of DevelopSpace.

Observations:

1) There exist a number of technical, financial, and political barriers to human expansion into space.

2) New and more fully developed technologies, systems, and tools will be of assistance in breaking down the technical barriers to the growing human exploration and settlement of space.

3) Human expansion into space captivates a large number of people around the world, although many of them are not at present actively involved in making it happen.

4) Many people around the world have skills relevant to advancing the human exploration and development of space, including a great many who are not currently involved in doing so.

5) Significant activity is already underway around the world in government, academia, industry, and the non-profit sector towards advancing the human exploration and development of space, although frequently much work is duplicated or lacks adequate focus to make a true contribution.

6) Information technologies are advancing rapidly and can enable space development-related collaboration and the sharing of models, tools, methods, results, designs, and other knowledge. Doing so will enable an individual or group to build upon earlier work more directly and will provide greater focus as to what work is worth engaging in.

7) Having an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution towards space exploration and development provides an inspiration and incentive towards for individuals to learn the math, science, and engineering skills involved in so doing.

8) Having a chance to be actively involved in space exploration and settlement activities makes one a greater supporter of such endeavors.
