Data Discovery for Earth Science
Websites like the NASA Earth Observatory showcase the many uses of satellite data to highlight interesting natural events. International partner instruments on NASA satellites such as Japan’s ASTER instrument and Canada’s MOPITT instrument, both onboard the Terra satellite, are also included as part of the Observatory. This challenge will ask you to devise a tool or technique to guide users to relevant datasets to study specific events.
Data web site for Space Apps Challenge.
Summary
We participated in the Space Apps Challenge many times and was also an operating member of the Tokyo venue.Any similar questions are asked about the data every year. I will explain it each time, but it will not be communicated to new participants the following year. Past Space Apps artifacts are missing and will not be reused.We thought we needed a data collection site dedicated to the SpaceApps Challenge, so we created it.
How I Addressed This Challenge
We have a local web site for SpaceApps Challenge Tokyo. http://tokyo.spaceapps.jp/
We created a data catalog site there. Data were found & salvaged by relying on the records and memories of past Space Apps Challenges.
How I Developed This Project
- Github pages
- HTML + CSS + JavaScript
How I Used Space Agency Data in This Project
Used as the data to be cataloged.
