About Open Space Launch Foundation

As a child, I dreamed of exploring new worlds under the stars. Today, I recognise that democratising access to space is a monumental challenge that may take a lifetime or more to achieve fully. Yet, with unwavering dedication, I founded the Open Space Launch Foundation to make that dream a reality for everyone, not just powerful nations and billionaires.

Leveraging my background in Simulation Engineering, AI, and Data Science at Elsevier and PlayStation and collaboration with esteemed teams like UCL Rocket and Sheffield University Sunride, we are laying the foundations for a future where space exploration is not just a privilege for a few but an opportunity for all.

Our flagship project, OpenSLS, is the world's first open-source launch vehicle development platform featuring high-performance physics and thermochemistry simulation with procedural CAD models optimised for manufacturing with robots in a garage. Starting with propulsion, we are expanding into vehicle and test facility development and, ultimately, mission control. We are creating a collaborative environment through digital twins—imagine GitHub, Kaggle, Wikipedia, and Thingiverse united but for space!

With the support of over 140 Kickstarter backers, 2000 newsletter subscribers, and 5000 social media followers, we are focused and building. Join us in making a difference! Together, we will realise the democratisation of space exploration and turn the impossible into the inevitable.
