With Godot as a 3D engine, it's **easy to add new functions and models, e.g. plan Solar Power Station parameters,** and concept of operations, e.g. how often to clean panels.\n\n\nThe funds from this particular grant would be used to implement models, **required for solar power plant planning** specifically a model that would:\n\n1. Assess amount of energy that solar cells could produce based on latitude/longitude during the year\n2. Assess power output based on orientation of the cells, including thous that tracks the Sun\n3. Model effect of dust, clouds to optimize panels maintenance\n4. Assess required electricity storage capacity\n5. Model consumers, e.g. household\n\nIn other words, the money from this grant would be used to model electrical power network. \nThe results and models could be shared with anyone, without any centralized authority using web3 tools\n\n\nThe below diagram highlights the overall idea.\n![Multiuser](https://bafybeic5mnsajdsyrszy7ddnoy5uvxhz76usukcnatp5g5exqapqagzcc4.ipfs.w3s.link/Combining%20simulations.png)\n\nLunCo is focused on **Data Sovereignty**, meaning that there is no need for central server. Users can run it locally, use it to edit their project, and then share it with the community using IP-NFTs for data discoverability, and decentralized data exchange networks like IPFS to share data itself.\n\n[![Multiuser](https://bafybeibdidgnutcuhqodxkvnh3qpecugyu6a7p6rvk7w36jwe5m4mtotty.ipfs.w3s.link/Federated.png)](https://twitter.com/LunCoSim/status/1679031437780201472)\n\n## Why Web3?\n\nWeb3 technology allows decentralization, which is crucial as engineering work is often dispersed across various teams. \n\nThe most common approach to knowledge sharing is email, which, while universal, is not the most efficient form of data exchange in today's digital age. On the other hand, Web3 provides advanced tools for file sharing and data exchange.\n\n![Multiuser](https://bafybeifuursjotnrriuy7sh2r7gf4k7mc4ob47nkmjnqj5h3m336a7moum.ipfs.w3s.link/Screenshot_20231105_151305.jpg)\n\n\n## Impact\n\nThrough LunCo, we aim to:\n\n- **Lower engineering costs,** by making knowledge sharing much more efficient\n- **Democratize the engineering landscape**, providing equal access to manufacturing software for all\n- **Foster a global engineering community** encouraging data and technology transfer across domains\n- Serve as a **repository of high-quality data for engineering AI**\n\n![](https://bafybeieyvd2guylnjom7lnyqcudcawsjnc2k5srr7a3j53jtswo6syww2m.ipfs.w3s.link/Screenshot_20231105_152202.jpg)\n\n## Roadmap & Features\n\n### Development\n1. Update to Godot 4.4\n2. Networking support in Browser using webRTC\n3. Impliment Rover controller to add bots\n4. Login in Browser via Metamask\n\n## BizDev\n\n1. Attend side events in Chiang Mai to establish more connection to Web3\n2. Present DeSpace at DeSci side events in BKK before DevCon \n3. Waiting for the confirmation from DevCon team to hold a DeSpace focused round table\n\n## Sample applications\n\n- Design solar power station in space \n- Assess impact of solar panels in the specific project\n- Plan satellite constellations \n- Visualize robotic transportation system\n- Monitoring and controlling of remote agriculture robots\n- Model Closed Loop Biological Life Support Systems\n\n## Inspired by\n\n1.
