The Freebird Project
The Freebird Project
The Freebird Project is a global, open‑source movement to democratize access to space.
For too long, access to the stars has been locked behind governments and billionaires. The Freebird Project exists to break those barriers and put the power of space exploration back where it belongs — in the hands of the people. We share knowledge freely, collaborate openly, and design together. This is not about profit or control. It’s about freedom, curiosity, and collective progress.

Kyle Skelly, MEng in Astronautics & Space Engineering, founded The Freebird Project to unite dreamers, builders, and explorers around a shared mission: making space accessible to everyone. With a background in aerospace and space engineering, programming and automation, Kyle is committed to empowering contributors over gatekeepers.
