This project consists of 3 main parts: the design, the software and the hardware. All the files and the essential documentation will be easily accessed through the Fab Academy students' pages. The manufacturing can be done locally. I want to keep this design open source. At the current state, it is non-profitable. My hope is that in time after I learn new skills and develop it further, it could be more fully realized kit. It will have an Open Source Hardware and Software licensed under MIT license.

According to the MIT licence permission is granted free of charge to anyone who includes the copyright/permission notice in all copies of the software. All the files and the essential documentation can be easily accessed through the Fab Academy students' pages. My final project contains laser cut parts, a 2 part 3D printed mold, an electronic boards, LEDs and software. With the Eagle, OpenSCAD and a vector editing program, it is possible to download all the above files and fully recreate the project or modify it.

This work is open source and free for anyone to download, modify, alter, share, etc. The project can be done without the Laser cut parts but this is up to the person who wants to make a new one, to modify it according to their needs, aesthetics and access to equipment.

I would be interested in turning just the half sphere of LED lights into an electronics kit in the future. It was fun to watch the whole project come together and also see how the physicality of the moon mirrored what was going on with the circuit board. I think that it would be a great project for kids to follow along with and that they could learn about electronics while building a 3D moon.

The documentation and files are easy to follow and understand and I am available to people for any questions. I think of the project as being for educational purposes.
