KODA INSTITUTE
LABS
KODA Labs is where we experiment with planetary intelligence, astronomical data, geospatial systems, and open scientific tools. From interactive planetariums and sky maps to Mars rover imagery and James Webb data APIs, our labs projects explore new ways of understanding Earth, space, and the broader universe through accessible technology, visualization, and research-driven software.
Interactive Cosmos Explorer – Online Planetarium
** Web-based only
Project Concept: Summary
Deploying an open-source 3D planetarium built on Godot Engine that enables interactive exploration of our solar system. The platform renders accurate celestial mechanics, orbital dynamics, and spacecraft positions across realistic distance scales. Users navigate between planets, moons, and asteroids while accessing educational data through an intuitive interface, merging astronomical precision with accessible public engagement tools for research and discovery.
Here Are Some Other KODA
Labs Projects
Experimental automation projects and side builds. Where
we explore what's possible and share what works.
Mars Rover API
KODA's NASA Mars Rover Photo API collects, structures, and distributes up-to-date rover imagery from NASA’s open datasets. By transforming raw mission data into accessible, public-ready formats, the API supports research, education, and broader exploration of planetary science.
James Webb Space Telescope API
KODA's James Webb Space Telescope API provides structured access to JWST imagery and spectral data from NASA’s archives. By organizing complex observational data into research-ready formats, it supports scientific analysis and public exploration of the universe.
Interactive Sky Map
KODA's Interactive Sky Map provides free access to celestial data through an intuitive, full-sky exploration interface. By visualizing millions of stars, galaxies, and deep-space objects in real-time, it supports astronomical research, education, and public discovery of the universe's wonders.
Hi! We're KODA
We're builders, artists, tinkerers, and inventors. We're futurists who tackle big problems by designing technology that enhances rather than diminishes human potential. KODA Labs codes for the long arc of human flourishing. Join us and let's build gifts to future humanity together.
