-# **BIRDS Open Source: Begin your satellite development**  
-{: .text-purple-200 .lh-tight}  
+## 🧭 What Is This Project?
 
-BIRDS Open Source offers a library of resources to guide your satellite mission from start to finish, with workflows and open-source tools you can trust.
+BIRDS Open Source is an educational satellite development platform based on the **Kyutech BIRDS model**, now made openly accessible for learning and collaboration. It includes software, hardware, documentation, and team workflows to help you simulate or build a real CubeSat. 
 
-**The BIRDS Open Source includes the following:**  
-- **Software Catalog:** Allows you to manage all your software in one place including microservices, libraries and data pipelines.
-- **Software Templates:** Quickly start projects and standardize tools with best practices  
-- **TechDocs:** Easily create and maintain technical documentation using a "docs like code" approach

-## Key Features of the BIRDS Bus
-**Modular Design**
-The BIRDS Bus is designed with modularity in mind, allowing teams to easily integrate and replace subsystems as needed. This flexibility is particularly useful for CubeSat missions with varying requirements.
-
-**Proven Reliability**
-The BIRDS Bus has been used in multiple missions, including BIRDS3 and BIRDS4, demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness in space.
-
-**Open-Source Documentation**
-The BIRDS Project provides extensive documentation, including schematics, firmware, and interface control documents (ICDs), to support teams in implementing the bus. The general documentation can be found here.
