Welcome to Mission Control

Set the mission, see what you'll build, and make sure your tools are ready.

In this quick codelab, you'll build a compact Space Mission Control dashboard in Jetpack Compose. The app stores astronaut profiles, uses a service layer to prepare mission greetings, injects dependencies with Koin, and pulls the ViewModel into Compose with koinViewModel().

What you'll build

Store astronaut profiles in memory for fast lookup.
Keep mission logic in a service instead of the UI.
Inject the repository, service, and ViewModel with Koin.
Render the screen with Compose state and lifecycle-safe ViewModel access.

Before you launch

About 10 minutes.
Android Studio with a recent Compose project.
Basic Kotlin, Compose, and ViewModel familiarity.
A Koin version available through your project setup.

Mission theme

Think of the screen as a tiny operator console: type a name, search the crew manifest, and fire off a friendly status ping.
