Named after the european mission control ESOC, the Chaos Space Operation Center want to provide a space for people interested in space exploration (in a wide sense) to meet, discuss and show of projects. The goal is to organize bring all the different people hacking on space topics in the hacker community in place, explore existing projects and come up with new ideas to hack where no congress has gone before.

## Topics[edit]

This is just an incomplete list of examples, feel free to add to it

- Building a satellite
- How to receive and decode signals from space
  - Weather satellites: APT, HRPT, ...
  - Cubesats e.g. Flying Laptop, FunCube ...
  - radio astronomy
- General rocket science
  - Model/Experimental rockets
  - DIY rocket engines
  - Nerding about real rockets and how they work
- History of space flight and exploration

## Projects[edit]

List Projects that people will show off, or work on at the assembly

- Open source receiver gear for APT-Signals (@ar3itrary /sebastian)
  - NOAA Satellite images with the rad1o or any other SDR
  - MRMCD-Talk: https://media.ccc.de/v/3CGHAH
  - https://github.com/LongHairedHacker/3dp-qfh
  - https://github.com/LongHairedHacker/ark-lna

- DIY Groundstation for the Flying Latop (@ar3itrary / sebastian)
  - Idea for an on-site project
  - Use Wifi-Antennas, cheap-chineses filters and LNAs and the rad1o to receive telemetry from the Flying Laptop
  - Maybe recruit Chaoswelle for help

## Self-Organized Sessions / Workshops[edit]

- An in depth look at the APT signal format (@ar3itrary /sebastian)
  - Some funny/interesting details about signal processing in the 80s that didn't make it into my mrmcd talk
  - Additional hands-on demo for people who bring their own SDR

- How to solder for space applications (INCO)
  - When it has to be reliable... and you are NOT in a hurry...

- Interplanetary Travel Agency (INCO)
  - Calculating & optimizing orbit trajectories accross the solar system using professional open source tools
