Building Open Lunar BaseOne Subsystem At A Time
The first step is to develope a simulator for collaborative lunar base engineering, so teams around the world can work together effectively.
Our Mission: An Open-Source Lunar City
Our goal is ambitious yet crucial: to collaboratively design and develop a fully open-source lunar base, one essential subsystem at a time. We believe that an open, shared approach is the fastest and most effective way to enable a sustainable human presence on the Moon.
By making the designs, simulation tools, and processes open, we empower a global community of engineers, scientists, students, and enthusiasts to contribute, innovate, and build upon this foundational work for the future of humanity in space.
LunCoSim: The Simulation & Design Engine
LunCoSim (Lunar Colony Simulator) is our core project - a virtual environment for collaborative lunar base engineering. Built with the Godot 4 engine, we're developing tools specifically for designing complex space systems.
We're building more than just a simulator - our goal is to create an integrated development environment where engineers and space enthusiasts can design, test, and visualize lunar base components. Current and planned features include:
- 3D Lunar Environment Simulation
- Modelica Integration for Physical Systems Modeling
- Resource Flow & Supply Chain Visualization
- Component Connection and Interaction
- Engineering Parameters Simulation
- Web Browser Access
- Wallet Integration for Authentication
- Multiplayer Collaborative Design
We're working to bridge the gap between traditional engineering tools and modern collaborative platforms, making lunar settlement design accessible to a wider community.
Our current development focus is on implementing modeling capabilities through a visual graph interface and Modelica integration - a powerful language for modeling physical systems. This foundation will enable more complex simulations as we progress.
