Global Nominee

The Challenge | Set Your Sights High!

NASA builds and operates numerous satellite and airborne missions that deliver critical measurements and data to the world’s science community. Your challenge is to develop a tool that enables people to identify NASA satellites and satellite instruments as they fly over their locations on Earth. Help people explore the data and applications coming from the instruments overhead!

OrbitVue

OrbitVue is web application for people of all ages about satellites, their interesting facts, and sharing data that is available from them publicly.

Otter's space

The application was created to bring the space to everyday people, as well as professionals who want to discover new ones possibilities offered by data from satellites, by collecting this data in one place.

We would like our solution to increase the knowledge about space, satellites and their impact on our lives.

Thanks to the implementation of the game and other solutions in augmented reality, the application is not only suitable for adult users, but also younger people, thanks to which the whole family can discover our home - Earth!

We hope that this way we will infect more people with passion for space, and also promote NASA and other space agencies among a wide audience.
