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.

No Space

Summary

Modification of rocket engines, on which the physics of the flight of the aircraft depends, which was calculated according to the formulas provided by NASAFlight on a spacecraft in three-dimensional spaceA space-based quiz using information about planets, asteroids, satellites, rockets and engines provided by NASA

How We Addressed This Challenge

The main causes of the problem: lack of necessary knowledge and experience of teachers in order to instill students' interest in astronomy; astronomy lessons are not taken seriously; there are few sources for easy and interesting acquaintance with the topic of space.

To solve the problem, an interactive game "No Space" was developed as a source for easier and more interesting acquaintance with the topic. The main idea of  the solution: in the form of a game, to tell about how space and spacecraft are arranged, the physics of spacecraft flight, and the physics of planets processed in real time.

How We Developed This Project

We used Unity Engine to produce interactive game expirience, also we used Blander for 3D models.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We used models of engines, planets, general information about planets, engines, rockets, and flight physics in the vacume of space.
