- UPSat
Was successfully launched into orbit from the International Space Station on May 18, 2017.
It was the first satellite designed and manufactured entirely in Greece by the Libre Space Foundation. It was part of the QB50 mission with ID GR-02. The UPSat mission was the first satellite launched into orbit made entirely of open-source software and open-source hardware. - QUBIK-1 and QUBIK-2
On September 3, 2021, the first PocketQubes of the QUBIK series, along with PICOBUS, were scheduled to fly in space as part of Firefly Aerospace’s DREAM payloads program.
That was the inaugural Firefly Alpha launch from Firefly Aerospace. Due to an engine failure approximately two and a half minutes after launch, the flight termination system was manually activated, and the vehicle was lost. The PICOBUS deployer, as well as the six PocketQubes inside it, were found intact, unscathed and safely retrieved.
They were returned to LSF HQ. - QUBIK-3 and QUBIK-4
On October 1, 2022 a second set of PocketQubes and a PICOBUS deployer made it to space successfully, as part of Firefly Aeropace’s Aplha Flight 2 #ToTheBlack mission. - SIDLOC
On July, 9, 2024 LSF’s SIDLOC flew to space onboard Europe’s new rocket, the Ariane 6.
The SIDLOC mission was successful as perched on the upper stage of the Ariane 6 rocket, the open-source safety beacon was tested in real-flight conditions for the first time ever. - SatNOGS-COMMS
On July 9, 2024, LSF’s SatNOGS-COMMS was part of the Curium One mission flying onboard the Ariane 6, inaugural flight.
After a few days of silence, the LSF team along with the help of the SatNOGS Network, managed to receive signals of the SATNOGS-COMMS transceiver.
It was the first time the transciever was tested in space.
