Why?

Please note that this section is a work-in-progress.

Time-orientation

Time is one of the largest obstacles to having elegant, efficient, powerful software in space. The Y2K bug is a prime example of how time-dependant computers have been and still are. In an environment where a day is more than 24 hours, software may not behave as expected.

Us

So who are we?

We are SEMC. A team sprouted from Nexus Aurora, our goal in its entirety is to write software and ease the development of space exploration.
