Big thinkers, innovating and reaching for the stars from basements and garages, launching spaceflight to new heights with their inventions and shared ideas.

To create a community and open source tools that spark interest and creativity in modern spaceflight.

Founders

Zach, The Citizen Astronaut and Brandon, the Sovereign Sysadmin founded FOSSFO in April 2025. After seeing his first in-person shuttle launch, Zach was immediately hooked on spaceflight and began sharing his new passion on TikTok and elsewhere. He quickly enlisted the help of Brandon, a former colleague with a huge passion for Linux and open source. The pair had been discussing starting an open source project for several years, and this is the one that finally launched!
