Hi Crunchers,

Constellation (http://aerospaceresearch.net/constellation/) is a platform for research projects that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in various aerospace related sciences and engineering. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer. But until now it's only possible to register with an invite-code.

This is your chance to be awarded with an invite-code by just formulating your simulation-idea you want to see running on the Constellation platform.

Constellation is meant to be an open-platform for everyone or every institution with goals to do research in aeronautics and astronautics and beyond, be it student or professor or just an enthusiast.

We will grant 10 codes for the best ideas submitted in this thread or via pm, when you are shy.
There is no limit how much to write, but the more and better prepared it is the higher are your chances to be among the best. But keep in mind to describe it clear and how you think it must use from distributed computing.

For example:
A mars exploration rover drill. There is a high number of combinations which drill-dimension, -material, -speed-function and mars soil to compute. And this is very easy to parallelize.

Study the characteristics of ash-particle flow caused by a volcano Eyjafjallajokull in the atmosphere.

Well, I hope you got the point, otherwise feel free to ask.

Good luck, everyone!
