CASTOM- Cargo Stowage And Management System

What does it do?

This software acts as a stowage advisor to astronauts, assisting in the following ways:

1. Sorting for ideal placement of items into containers.
2. Shows the most efficient path for the retrieval of items.
3. In case of a space shortage, the program will suggest the rearrangement of items in order to optimise space usage.
4. Simulates how items may be used up or expire through the course of a given number of days.
5. When items are no longer usable, they are categorised as waste. The program suggests which container this waste should be moved into for undocking.
6. Before a resupply module undocks, the system provides a clear plan for waste return and space reclamation.
7. Logs all activities performed by the astronauts.
