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.

Summary

In this game, the user has to build a Rocket by assembling parts like the aerodynamic nose,etc. Each part has different designs that vary parameter or shape or volume.The Parts are explained so that users with no knowledge about them can easily understand and build a Rocket. Then he has to select a destination and launch his Rocket. As the Rocket lifts, he can see the altitude and the velocity at particular intervals. A trajectory path could be seen once it crosses the earth’s gravitational pull.On reaching the desired destination, details of time and distance travelled are displayed. Therefore, the user can experiment with different combinations to understand the effect of physical factors.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Space exploration is a dream for many of us. But the achievable reality is far from present considering threats and lack of resources. There might be many existing space programs but to understand it better, we need subject matter experts or high technical knowledge. 

This interactive application energizes and inspires the young aspiring scientists who might not have a good technical knowledge about space but is curious to learn and explore this field. 

This web application through animations and simulations, seeks to explore and develop a deeper understanding of the nature of space-time, gravitation, inertial frames, and other fundamental physical phenomena affecting the motion of rockets, and providing amateurs and professionals with information on the go.

How We Developed This Project

The main inspiration was to develop something simple for younger generation people and at the same time to explain the basic concept by keeping everything simple.


After reading the problem statement, it occurred to us that we could create a software to demonstrate the working of rockets and information about different rocket parts to normal people also who don't have much of aerospace background. In choosing tools , we chose a javascript library React.js for creating our views as it is lightweight and fast, and for animation we used a library called Greensock (Gsock) in short.

We have faced some problems in simulating the flight path of rocket achieved in the area of assembly and design of displaying information of various rocket parts.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

To understand how to calculate distance between two objects in space while considering stars as a reference. Archive submissions by researchers helped us to understand more about planets. We learned about different types of Engines, Fuel Tanks, Air-Fuel Mixture.
