Quetzal-1 Satellite Goes Open Source

It is nice to see another open source satellite [1]. Usually i only saw used in the satellites, releasing also the hardware part is super cool. However there are also other notable repositories. There is for instance a "space kit" for arduinos [2]. Another interesting project was QB50 [3], many student satellites, from multiple universities worked together to study the lower thermosphere. If you search for QB50, there are multiple public repositories with the code they used.

This is wicked interesting. This may sound ridiculous, but I'm curious, how do you get a satellite to space? I can't just get a quick Lyft Line ride to leo, can I? :)
