WEBCAST OCT 5-6 - NASA International Space Apps Challenge (Space Apps) Hackathon - Brooklyn
On Saturday-Sunday October 5-6 2024 the Kingsborough Community College will be the Brooklyn NYC location of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) International Space Apps Challenge (Space Apps). Space Apps is an international hackathon where multiple teams in locations around the world engage NASA’s free and open data to address real-world problems on Earth and in…

48 ore ed un obiettivo: sviluppare un’app che proponga idee e soluzioni alle sfide dello Spazio e della Terra. Il 19 ed il 20 ottobre a Torino torna la NASA Space Apps Challenge.
La NASA Space Apps Challenge è parte dell’iniziativa Open Innovation Project della NASA che intende coinvolgere persone dalle più disparate competenze per trovare idee e soluzioni innovative alle sfide dello Spazio e…
The infinite space has got lots of mysteries and secrets in itself, right from the
Here are the list of the top 7 best space apps for exploring the space. The list includes both free and paid apps.explore the space with the latest updates by using these space apps.
My team, Delta, is in the local finals for the NASA space apps challenge, you may have heard about it in your countries.
We chose the topic about wildfires because they're a significant part of climate change, but most of all annually they destroy vast amounts of habitats, which is killer for the climate, and a literal one for whole ecosystems of both flora and fauna.
Climate change must be fought on all fronts, it is not a battle we can afford to lose.
Habitat loss is a major issue which we also intend to help solve.
Your vote would be much appreciated, Also, if it isn't too much trouble it'd be nice if you share it with your friends.

thermal 360 cameras (thermal radars) are set on poles on high altitudes (or already existing power lines, so that new metal constructions would not need to be set up, therefore making our mechanism even more sustainable). The cameras detect fire using infrared light. This mechanism will be powered by photo-voltaic cells. Each camera has a range of 5 kilometers. The camera transmits information to the data base in the closest fire station through routers, that transmit up to 14km in ideal conditions. However, these routers will be set 7km apart from each other, so that they can have a strong connection even in difficult weather conditions. These two devices will be easily powered by the photo-voltaic as the camera is at 7W and the router a mere 0.5W.
Simultaneously, wind speed and wind direction sensors are placed, to send key information to the database. It is imperative to determine the direction in which the fire will spread. This will be achieved with the MISR instrument aboard the Terra satellite with which we’ll measure the wind direction. It will be crucial for fighting these massive fires as it will provide a larger picture. The previously mentioned wind speed and wind direction sensors, also connected to the router, will supply information on the momentary wind condition. They will not need power as they are powered by the wind as they calculate its speed. If the wind passes the 8.8km/h mark, they will have reached their maximum need and they can store even more power, making the system even more sustainable and stable.

Nel weekend 22-24 Aprile si terrà, in oltre 170 città di tutto il mondo (c’è anche la tua?) la nuova edizione dell’ hackathon NASA (per noi “NASA/ESA”) SpaceApps Challenge.
