I’m curious whether there has been any prior discussion about the Libre Space community collaborating with the OpenPlanetary community, since there is important areas of overlap between the two.
I don’t have any special connection to OpenPlanetary other than as an observer and user of their tools and data, but I thought I’d start a discussion here just in case others might be interested.

There is a tiny bit of overlap in the form of software: I help maintain the conda package for spiceypy, the Python bindings for SPICE:
I’m kind of new to both communities (if anything, a little bit more involved with Libre Space) but I’d say there’s a good share of people caring about software on this side too
Also, to the extent that at some point in the future we can use cubesats for planetary science, we could do great things together!
