Luc Maisonobe of French company C-S is known as "the father of Orekit". This open governance low level flight dynamics library is used by many private and government organizations worldwide to identify and track space satellites.  

Luc Maisonobe joins Cold Star Project host Jason Kanigan to discuss:  

how the idea of Orekit was conceived
the way the technology required for Orekit was identified
where the data for Orekit comes from 
what Luc would do differently now from a process perspective compared to the project's beginning
whether Orekit will evolve into a different kind of program, with increased usage and data from more launches 
how the open governance model for project management has worked, including accountability, and what unexpected thing has come out of it.
