Mars Habitat Simulation

*** Event is FREE but registration is required here: https://organizer.runtheworld.today/invitation/3954

/ / This is NOT Zoom, but a desktop and mobile app that supports networking + talks.

Join us for our first virtual Meetup featuring an exciting keynote speaker and the opportunity to mingle with our software for space community!

SIMOC is a hi-fidelity model and web interface to a simulation of a
human habitat on Mars. Built on 40 years of NASA data, SIMOC provides
insight to the challenge of long-term, off-world habitation. Users are
invited to design a habitat that combines mechanical and plant-based
(bioregenerative) systems, selecting various combinations of crew
quarters, greenhouse, food and plants, energy generation and storage,
and mission duration, then set your design in motion to learn if your
crew makes it, or what adjustments must be made with the next run.

Agenda:
6:30-7:00pm PST Virtual Free Food & Networking
7:00-8:00pm PST Keynote talks and Q&A

Speakers:

Kai Staats - Project Lead of SIMOC. He was co-founder and CEO of the world-renowned Yellow Dog Linux operating system for ten years. The YDL platform was used extensively in Department of Energy, NASA, and University research across a full spectrum of sciences. Kai designed and developed iConji, an icon-based language for international communication; wrote the machine learning algorithm Karoo GP which has been used at LIGO for classification of glitches and supernovae; and was principal designer of the Mt. Meru Astronomical Observatory in Tanzania, the first of its kind in East Africa. With SIMOC, Kai has led the development of a unique computer software model that allows for unlimited creativity and exploration of complexity, and ultimately the design of a human habitat on Mars.
