Orbital Sky
Interactive StarLight
Summary
The idea of the project is to bring together all levels of age and knowledge (from the public with more specific knowledge to the most lay) about our universe and the satellites that orbit the space. With an interactive application, where people can not only know about satellites in real time, but have their image in 3D, being a way to bring people closer to the universe. In addition to games that further explore the universe, and an interactive encyclopedia where people can know what material is made by satellite, bringing together curious, researchers and university students.
How We Addressed This Challenge
It addresses, using android and java language. It is important that people have a better understanding of space. And in order not to make a subject boring or too difficult, it was done in an interactive way to capture from the child audience, to the adult audience, arousing curiosity in a less technical language.
How We Developed This Project
The project took into account the curiosity of lay people on the subject and researchers, and a personal survey was conducted with people close to them about what they would like to explore in an application, taking into account their expectations and needs. The project was also inspired by drawings that refer to space, we used the android and Java language for its development, and we had technical problems in relation to the application, but we had some achievements, such as leaving it configured in different languages, taking into account people who do not dominate the English language.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We followed the step by step of the resources made available by NASA, trying to use 95% of the courses given to the maximum. We use references from outside, such as satellite search by N2YO and Stuffin.Space that allows us to view all satellites that orbit the Earth.
