 +====== About Apollo-NG ======
  
 +Apollo-NG is a mobile, self-sustainable, independent and highly-experimental Hackerspace using and developing next-generation open-source [[mission:tech| technology]], visiting places without a resident, local Hackerspace and offering other Hackers the opportunity, to work together on exciting [[lab:start|projects]] and to share [[mission:resources|resources]], knowledge, experience, fun and food combined with an always ready-to-deploy infrastructure. 
 +
 +===== To boldly go, where no Hackerspace has gone before =====
 +
 +When hackers come together to meet and do [[lab:|something]] they mostly need some sort of infrastructure (power/network access) and [[mission:resources|tools]] to do so. What many hackers are great at and often even do (once we've had the experience that we can do it) is to hack something up in ghetto-fashion in order to have the least amount of infrastructure we require. 
 +
 +Unfortunately this isn't yet true for the needs of mobile research & development and fabrication facilities. In order to really do more than just software we need a good basic set of tools and fabrication systems bootstrapped to a level which allows independent operation and further open-source development.
 +
 +Combining the mobility of the [[mission:tech:odyssey|Odyssey]] with independent power, tools and space of the [[mission:tech:aquarius|Aquarius]] offers all that in a nice package:
 +
 +  * High mobility
 +  * Quick deployment anywhere
 +  * Independent power
 +  * Network access
 +  * Network services
 +  * Electro/Mechanic/Optical tools/workshop/fabrication
 +
 +What ever else may be needed at a particular location can be fabricated/maintained with the available tools and local resources.
 +
 +===== Flight Plan =====
 +
 +There is no Flight Plan. Once Apollo-NG is launched onto the road, it will be operating 24x7x365 all over the road-connected world until the pilot dies or chooses to do something else. Deployment locations will be selected depending on season and local conditions (mainly: [[mission:tech:odyssey:sku:solar-prediction-model|predicted solar output]]). Each deployment will be given a considerable time frame in order to give locals a better chance to connect and also to be able to have time to focus on [[lab:]].
