SUMMARY:Run a Lunar Mission Together: An Open-Source Hands-On Session at IAC 2026
DESCRIPTION:One Moon\, one vision\, one future.  \nJoin the LunCo team for a hands-on session on lunar surface operations\, held alongside the 77th International Astronautical Congress. We start with a live simulated landing at the lunar south pole\, a study model of a planned commercial lander-and-rover mission built from public data. Then it’s your turn: take the controls of a rover\, look inside how the lander and rover are modelled\, and plan a route across real lunar terrain data\, on your own laptop or together with a team. \nLunCoSim is an open-source (Apache-2.0) simulation environment for space mission engineering. It is currently in alpha\, and this session is built around your feedback. The last part of the evening is an open discussion: what you would need from a tool like this\, what you would leave out\, and what should come next. What we hear will shape what we build. \nProgramme (about 90 minutes):\nA live lunar landing\, and how the simulation is put together\nHands-on: drive\, explore and plan\, alone or in teams\nOpen feedback session: what you need\, what’s missing\, what should come next \nNo prior experience with LunCoSim or simulation software is needed. Students\, researchers\, engineers\, architects and educators are all welcome. Bring a laptop if you have one; if not\, you can join a team at a shared machine. Registered participants receive the download link and practical details before the session. \nLunCoSim is free to download\, runs on an ordinary laptop\, and needs no account or licence\, so you can keep using it afterwards.
