- - The FemtoStar Project wants to develop a low-cost satellite network - for global communication, with end-to-end encryption, verifiable anonymity, geolocation-resistance by design, - and powered by free software, from the user terminal, to the spacecraft, to the ground - station. We've named our design FemtoStar, and written a document - explaining the proposed system. + FemtoStar Inc. is the company tasked with the manufacturing the FemtoStar and operation of the FemtoStar satellite + constellation, based on the free and open-source designs and specifications developed by the + FemtoStar Project.
- We're a small team of developers and hardware guys, not a startup company, and we want - to involve the privacy community in every step of the process. -

While FemtoStar Inc. consists entirely of FemtoStar Project + members, and exists to manufacture and operate the system developed by the FemtoStar Project, the FemtoStar Project + is independent of FemtoStar Inc., and its developments are freely usable, even outside the context of the network + operated by FemtoStar Inc.
