9:00am - The Gang Builds a Web App

Starting Out

At the stroke of 09:00 hours, our hackathon team came together on Discord for some project planning.

We simultaneously watched a video from the NASA team, which helped greatly with realising the project requirements.

Research

Our base abstraction of the problem was to take all of the possible inputs and outputs to form a sleep-shift scheduling algorithm.

Inputs:

- Launch/Landing and Docking/Undocking Times

- Dates and Times of International Travel

- Airport of the Travel Destination's Layover Times

- Dates and times of Mission-Control

- Normal Sleep Hours of the Individual

- Morning, Intermediate or Evening

Outputs:

- Sleeping, Eating and Exercise Times

- Blue Light-Blocking Glasses

- Naps

- Melatonin and Other Biological Medication

- Alertness Medication from the Individual's Flight Surgeon

- Eye Masks and Ear Plugs

Splitting up

With this research method identified, we divided into small agile teams in order to begin executing our web application.
