Ultrascope

Ultrascope The Ultrascope is a 3D-printed open source telescope designed by the Open Space Agency for education and citizen science

The Ultrascope project aims to bring low cost astronomy to schools and citizen scientists via the Ultrascope telescope and an open science curriculum. We want to inspire makers and citizen scientists to improve our understanding of the universe, make new scientific discoveries, and potentially save the planet from dangerous near-earth-objects. The Ultrascope itself is an open-source, 3D-printable

kit-set telescope that aims to ‘reduce the cost of pro-level astronomy by an order of magnitude.’ In other words, a robotic telescope (or Automated Robotic Observatory) that allows amateur astronomers to contribute to citizen science projects and school to have access to easy-to-make, affordable technologies.

The FDL team is convening a series of meet-ups across the country to talk about and data and problems that matter.

We're in the Bay Area this week (Berkeley, SF and Silicon Valley ; Pittsburgh (CMU), Boston (MIT) and NYC next week.

Check out the roadshow itinerary here.

Dozens of articles about the Ultrascope are being released! We are definitely becoming viral! :)

You’ve heard all about the 3D printed components for NASA’s telescopes and all about amazing open source projects (Open ROV, Open Bionics, OpenBiomedical and just about every project on the Wevolver platform) that are slowly, but surely, taking over some of the most advanced scientific fields. Now,…

Nice! :)

If you’ve been astounded by the recent images from NASA’s New Horizons flyby of Pluto but can’t wait for the next super-sharp image to wing its way to NASA, there’s some good news for you. Using a 3D printer, you can now build your own powerful telescope at home. It may not be able to snap the famou…
