01 — About the lab

We are the accredited crew behind quiet cosmic breakthroughs

OPEASDEEACREDLA — Orbital Performance, Exploration & Analytics: Deep Space Exploration, Accredited Laboratory. Founded by astrophysicists, ex-flight controllers and robotics engineers, OPEA runs its own ground stations, thermal-vacuum chambers and a high-altitude balloon port. Our credo: fly often, measure everything, publish openly.

  • ✓Accredited & audited. ISO 14644 cleanrooms, ECSS payload certification, independent review board for every flight.
  • ✓Full-stack missions. From concept → avionics → launch integration → operations → open data archive.
  • ✓Education first. 3,200 students flew code on OPEA CubeSats. 87 university payloads hosted free.
  • ✓Open science. All non-proprietary telemetry, spectra and bio-data released under CC-BY in 90 days.

From LEO to lunar surface

Each OPEA mission carries at least one open student experiment and one deep-space science instrument. Here is the active manifest.

OPEA-27 orbital station● Active — LEO 412km

OPEA-27 «Kepler Eye»

6U CubeSat with AI star-tracker + UV spectrometer. Hunts exoplanet transits and monitors upper-atmosphere lightning. 412 experiments uplinked.

Launch: Falcon rideshare•Life: 3y
Lunar payload Selene Drop◐ Integration — Moon

Selene Drop 03

Lunar regolith sintering payload + radiation-tolerant bio-chips. Tests building blocks from Moon dust for future habitats. Mass 14.2 kg.

Window: Q2 2027•Partner lander
Stratospheric balloon observatory▲ Stratosphere 32km

Balloon Observatory B-11

Reusable stratospheric platform with 40cm telescope. Above 99% atmosphere — crisp IR imaging at 1% of orbital cost. 11 flights done.

Turnaround: 9 days•Payload 85kg
Mars analog habitatMars Analog — Utah

Ares Habitat 180

180-day isolation with closed-loop water, algae bioreactor and tele-operated rovers. Crew psychology + ISRU ops for Mars transit.

Zero-g biology labZero-G Bio

Zea & Tardigrade Lab

Protein crystallization + tardigrade genomics in microgravity. Two papers in Nature Microgravity, one patent for radiation repair enzymes.

Ground station networkGround Segment

9-Station Mesh

From Svalbard to Atacama — our own UHF/S/X network gives 94% orbital coverage without third-party passes. Open API for schools.

03 — Technology stack

Built for vacuum, radiation & velocity

Rad-hard avionics, autonomous navigation and lab-grade optics — all designed in-house and tested to destruction.

🛰️ OPEA Bus v4

Modular 3U-12U bus, 40W solar, reaction wheels 0.02° pointing, triple-redundant OBC. From $48k.

🔭 Argus Optics

Carbon-ceramic telescopes 10-40cm, adaptive focus, AI cosmic-ray rejection. 2.1x sharper than COTS.

🧬 BioCassette

Sealed microfluidic lab for cells, crystals, seeds. Live microscopy downlinked in 4K.

📡 MeshLink OS

Delay-tolerant networking, auto-handover, encrypted telemetry. Open SDK in Python & Rust.

Thermal vacuum chamber testing

Test like you fly: TVAC + vibe + rad

Every board spends 200h in thermal vacuum (-80°C to +85°C), 14g vibration and proton-beam screening. We publish failure reports — because space rewards paranoia. Our cleanroom timelapses have 2M views in schools.

Mission control software

Mission control in your browser

OPEA Console: live TLE tracking, pass predictions, drag forecasts, one-click tasking. Students reserve telescope time like booking a meeting room. 12,400 queued observations last quarter.

05 — Flight path

Six years from garage to Gateway

We started with a weather balloon and a GoPro. Now we integrate lunar hardware. The arc is steep — and we document every burn.

2019 — IGNITION

First balloon to 31km

Two founders, one helium tank, live APRS tracking. Recovered payload 40km downrange by hitchhiking.

2021 — FIRST ORBIT

OPEA-04 reaches SSO

Our first CubeSat phones home. 1,200 school kids decode its beacon in first week.

2023 — ACCREDITATION

Certified lab status

ECSS-Q-ST-60 qualified, cleanroom class 7, independent safety board. Lunar contracts open.

2025 — CONSTELLATION

9 ground stations + 11 flights

Stratospheric observatory becomes commercial. Bio-lab results published. 27 missions total.

2027 — NEXT: MOON

Selene Drop + Gateway module

Sintering Moon bricks + radiation biology. You can put your name on the lander plate.

06 — Crew

Humans behind the hardware

Flight dynamics geeks, ex-astronaut trainers, biohackers and one former watchmaker who now builds reaction wheels.

Why opeasdeeacredla.space matters for open space?

We believe orbit should not be a luxury. Every dataset, every anomaly report, every line of flight software (minus ITAR bits) is shared. Researchers in Nairobi or Reykjavik get the same pass predictions as Houston. That is why our newsroom is also a data-room: raw FITS, CSV telemetry and 3D models attached to each log. Dive in, reproduce, challenge us — science wins.

Questions from Earthlings

Short answers. For long answers, book a tour of mission control — coffee is on us, gravity is on you.

Telescope under stars
What does opeasdeeacredla.space actually do?

We design, test and operate small satellites, stratospheric telescopes, lunar payloads and Mars-analog habitats. Plus we run 9 ground stations and publish all science openly.

Can my school / university fly with you?

Yes. Twice a year we open a free rideshare call for educational payloads up to 0.5U. We help with vibration testing, paperwork and licensing. 87 teams already flew.

How can I access telescope time or data?

Create a free OPEA Console account, pick a target, queue an observation on B-11 or Kepler Eye. Data lands in your inbox as calibrated FITS + PNG preview, usually within 72h.

Are you really accredited?

Yes — ECSS payload qualification, ISO 14644 cleanrooms, annual independent safety audit. Reports are public in our archive section.

How to visit or intern?

Open days every first Saturday, internships each summer for engineers, biologists and science communicators. Use the form below — tell us what you want to break (respectfully).
