LunCoSim is a web-based lunar colony simulator for collaborative mission engineering. Unlike games or single-robot simulations, it's an engineering tool that lets multiple users worldwide control rovers on the Moon surface in real-time — with realistic physics and command interfaces. Built with Rust and Bevy for precision and scalability, it serves MoonDAO's mission of democratizing lunar exploration.

Picture this: hundreds of young blockchain developers packed into a lively hall in Kampala, notebooks open, laptops humming, all buzzing with ideas. That's DevFest Kampala 5.0 on June 27, 2026. Our team wants to make it MoonDAO's official launchpad in East Africa. We'll bring MoonDAO right into the heart of the event with a branded booth, an interactive workshop that breaks down the Master Plan in plain language, and swag that gets people talking. Then we'll cap it off with a focused post-event hackathon in July where teams build real prototypes tied to lunar settlement challenges—like decent...

This is a high-level description of the idea. Please use ELI5 (explain like I'm five years old) wording and summarize things for anyone to understand what you want to achieve.

Anna Shaposhnik is proposing the funding of a small deployable stabilizing camera capsule for capturing 3rd person point of view of rocket deployment and the fall to Earth. The project is unique for its compact size and use of common off-the-shelf hardware. This project is a technology step in her company ORBES (https://orbes.space) larger vision of providing new ways to document space projects. Problem Rockets and satellites don't have a 3rd person POV, yet visual imagery is one of the most important exports from space missions. Blue Origin is among the first to give us stunning 360 view of...

We propose the development of a Mexican and Latam Aerospace Competency Intelligence System Agency to define the skills, capabilities, and profiles required for entry-level talent to successfully integrate into the global space industry. In simple terms: We will ask the world's leading space organizations—agencies, companies, and training centers—what they actually need in the next generation of space professionals, and use that data to build the first standardized talent pipeline for Latin America aligned with real industry demand. This initiative serves as the foundation for: - A Latin Am...

This project builds a simple tool that shows how activity from the Sun affects satellites around Earth. When the Sun is more active, satellites experience more drag and can lose altitude faster. This dashboard will show this risk in real time in a way that anyone can understand.

Astronauts who see Earth from space often experience a profound shift in worldview called the Overview Effect. Despite decades of astronaut testimony, no one has ever done a rigorous, large-scale analysis of what these experiences actually have in common, how they vary, or what psychological mechanisms drive them. TORI Stage 1 will build the first comprehensive research database of Overview Effect accounts by systematically coding astronaut memoirs, interviews, oral histories, and mission transcripts. The result: an open-access archive and a peer-reviewed publication establishing empirical pat...

We want to tell exciting space stories through videos so more people can learn about space and feel inspired. Think of it like making a space TV show that follows real people, real missions, and real experiences—so anyone, even a kid, can understand and get excited about space.

MoonDAO is building a permanent lunar settlement—and it's time to start designing it. The Lunar Base Design Initiative brings together space architects, systems engineers, habitat designers, and MoonDAO citizens to produce the first community-driven concept design for a lunar base. This is Phase 1: three months of focused work to define what MoonDAO's lunar base could actually look like its architecture, life support approach, power systems, and construction strategy. We're planning to deliver in Q2 a solid conceptual foundation. When Phase 1 is done, MoonDAO will have a shared design langua...

Interactive Simulation of Lunar City. As a systems engineer I used to work on the first commercial walking rover for the Moon. With that experience I'm building a simulator for lunar missions. Video of early version: https://youtu.be/JAa6iCbfLNA

We are organizing a series of space-focused community events in Florianópolis to help Brazilian entrepreneurs and builders understand that working on lunar settlement is realistic and within reach. The program includes 3 Space Day/Night meetups (30 people each) leading up to Space Week in October 2026 — our third year running this initiative. The main event is a dedicated MoonDAO Track inside the official NASA Space Apps Challenge Florianópolis (October 3–4, 2026, at Founder Haus in Jurerê). During the events, core MoonDAO team members will give clear talks on space technology, lunar settlem...

Imagine girls in Colombia dreaming of space but never seeing women like them building rockets. ACMA will fund 3 all-women student teams to compete in Colombia's national rocketry contest (CCCD 2026), giving them training, gear, and a shot at the stars. With $4,600 USDC, we'll launch young Latinas into STEM, connecting them to MoonDAO's multiplanetary future.

Moonshot Celebration is a simple idea: people write one short wish and send it to the Moon. Anyone can participate for free, and if they want a keepsake they can choose an optional digital or printed certificate. This project is a three-month MoonDAO pilot that tests whether "Send Your Wish to the Moon" can (1) bring new people into MoonDAO's orbit, (2) create measurable engagement and community growth, and (3) generate sustainable revenue through a transparent revenue-share model. Lunar delivery integration is executed in collaboration with LifeShip (lifeship.com).

**ELI5:** Astronauts on a long mission face adverse challenges to their bodies: bones get weaker, muscles shrink, radiation damages DNA, and their brains start to slow down. It's like the body is aging really fast. Changes that take decades to occur on Earth, happen within weeks and months in space. We don't yet have good medicines to prevent it. Some people, though, are naturally tougher: their genes make them more resistant to bone loss, radiation damage, or muscle wasting. The Spacefarer Phenome project wants to find gene variants that confer this resistance, and use them as a roadmap to d...

Higher Orbits is a non‑profit with the mission of promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM); along with leadership, teamwork, communication and art (STEAM) through the use of spaceflight. Mankind's journey into space serves as an ideal launchpad to excite students of all ages about STEM/STEAM and working to fulfill their dreams and ambitions while also building teamwork, leadership, and communication skills. Our main method of outreach is through our Go For Launch! events. Go For Launch! is a multiday program (not overnight) that uses Space Exploration as a platform to launch...

We are creating a space-ready oral care system called AstrOnyx and testing it in analog astronaut missions while sharing it with the world.

This is a high-level description of the idea. Please use ELI5 (explain like I'm five years old) wording and summarize things for anyone to understand what you want to achieve. We are prepping our NASA award winning pressure suit for a flight to space. Before doing so we must test it in "space like" conditions via NASA standards.
