Constellation is a platform for different aerospace related projects that need intensive computational power. The platform supports the efforts of participating projects by providing Distributed Computation capability using BOINC (Berkeley Open Interface for Network Computing).

Constellation will send work-units of attached projects to volunteering, idle PCs where the units are processed. The combined power of all volunteering users will help to solve important scientific tasks in fields from astronomy to aerospace-engineering beginning from student up to university projects. The bottom line is to benefit from the generosity of the volunteers and to benefit from the accumulation of different projects, like sharing programming knowledge in distributed computing and influencing the others' simulation by its own solutions.

The platform is an open space for anyone, who is an air and space enthusiast and wants to donate idle computing time or even skill for a sub-project on platform. Applications for coders, mentors and ideas for sub-project are welcome!

Projects

  • Develop a reusable solution for numerical aerospace problems Based your ideas page, and the proposed application tasks, I head the idea to solve the tasks with great reusability in mind, leveraging new high level languages, and possible develop a domain specific languaes, to help aerospace scientists to more easily program future solutions.Taking a look at your project ideas, and your previous softwa
  • Space Top Trumps Space Top Trumps, aims to create a basic prototype of a fun and interactive Android game for children ages 6-12 to learn about space vehicles. It should be able to be expanded and improved on to accommodate more card sets from various institutes like NASA and so forth.
