Github — Lunanom

Some of Lunar Nomad's notable projects on GitHub include:

The growing number of lunar missions has led to an explosion in the identification of surface features, potential resources, and landing sites. Traditional naming authorities, such as the International Astronomical Union (IAU), operate on decadal timelines, creating a bottleneck for rapid scientific communication. This paper introduces LunaNom GitHub — a conceptual open-source platform designed to crowd-source, version-control, and standardize informal lunar nomenclature. We explore how GitHub’s infrastructure (issues, pull requests, and Markdown-based catalogs) can be adapted to propose, debate, and track provisional names for lunar landmarks, mining zones, and artificial objects. The paper discusses metadata schemas, governance models, integration with planetary GIS databases, and potential use cases for commercial and research teams. lunanom github
