Imagine if you could speak to the stars...
Well, now you can!
Dark Forest
Project Dark Forest exists to promote science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education by training the next generation to build uplink ground stations capable of transmitting messages of peace to spacecraft, and to develop and deploy spacecraft to stable orbits that are capable of receiving and sending curated audio and video from Earth based ground stations, and to collect and aggregate outer space environment data.
Science
Study celestial objects and phenomena beyond Earth’s atmosphere, analyzing their origin, evolution, and physical properties.
Technology
Understand how launch vehicles, spacecraft, and space stations are developed, built and deployed to help humanity understand space, and life here on earth.
Engineering
Explore how the design, development, and operation of systems and technologies impact space exploration, satellite communications, and space-based research.
Math
Calculate trajectories for spacecraft, determining distances between celestial bodies, and understanding planetary orbits.
