Breakthrough

Faster-than-light travel is the key to humanity’s dreams of inter-galactic space travel. Your challenge is to create an app, tool, game, or other interactive application that showcases both existing, as well as next generation/theoretical, breakthrough spacecraft propulsion in an engaging way.

Breakthrough

Summary

The project provides a detailed introduction to the current and future propulsion systems. Any space newcomer will find it resourceful. The project was largely based on NASA data and a few resourceful space propulsion books.

How We Addressed This Challenge

I developed a website that introduces all current propulsion systems and propulsion systems that currently still onboard(not yet applied on any space missions). This project will give an exciting and detailed introduction to readers. It introduces readers to different propulsion systems. Visit a search and open the link which leads you to the website. I hope to simplify propulsion to the public so that more people get to study and read about it.

How We Developed This Project

I was inspired by my love for Astronautics in particular rockets. My approach was to research on the current and proposed future space propulsion systems, summarize into explanations that can be understood by everyone regardless of the background . The coding language used were html, css and JavaScript.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We used the NASA website to get more information about space propulsion systems and their processes.
