LunCo: complex systems design (inactive)
***LunCo is an opensource collaborative engineering software for complex systems design inspired by Lunar Exploration and built by space systems engineers***

From solar panels, wind turbines, and vertical farms through solar power stations in space to permanent settlements on Moon and Mars - it's all about engineering.

Designing is hard and you need a lot of different software - CAD, CAE, CAM, FEA, MBSE, ERP, and so on.

Software that can operate complex systems like factories or Lunar Colony at all levels, a digital twin of the system - is crucial to run existing infrastructure. 

Lack of access to such software is a source of inequality in our world.

LunCo addresses these issues by providing an extensible core (3D, UI, web3-based data sharing), as well as a set of applications build on top of that for engineers.


## Impact

- significantly lower the cost of engineering, making not only Space Exploration more accesible, but in general the cost of engineered solutions, e.g. vertical farms
- lowering the barier to engineer stuff, providing everyone interested with equail access to manufacturing software
- global engineering community, data and technology transfer between domains
- source of high-quality data for engineering AI

## About

LunCo is a single entry point with a nice UX into a rabithole of space engineering, fully open.

Check our [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@LunCoSim).  There (hopefully) should be an explanation video, launched right before the round.

### Key Ideas

* Save engineers time with great UX
* Global database of engineering solutions
* Opensource, relies on open space standards
* Reuse existing code for simulations, models, etc
* Integration with professional SW like Solidworks, Ansys, etc.
* A playground for Space Engineering AI

### Sample applications

- Design solar power station in space 
- Assess impact of solar panels
- Plan satellite constellations 
- Visualise robotic transportation system
- Monitor remote agricultire robots
- Model Closed Loop Biological Life Support Systems
- Build custom submodules for ERP, supply chain, CRM, etc

### Roadmap / next steps

1. Implement crucial PM tools: Kanban board, Infinite Whiteboard
2. User generated content distribution via IPFS
3. ReqIf - based requirements management
4. Basic models:
	1. Solar power generation
	2. Electricity consumption
	3. Air quality
