May it be daytime or nighttime, if you would look up to the sky, there is a good chance that you would be able to see the moon. Our moon orbits around our Earth on a specific orbital path, making it the Earth's natural satellite. As you look at the moon, have you ever wondered: is it only the moon that orbits around the Earth? Does the moon cycle through its life in space alone?
Much like the moon, humans have long since been crafting and launching objects into space, following their own orbital paths. Today, there are thousands of satellites flying all around the Earth, each of which transmits different sets of data to different places.
Most people, like you and I, who don't work in space agencies, or learn about space technology, do not know much about these man-made satellites. We would offer wonder: What do the satellites do? Why are there so many of them? Where are they? Do they orbit the Earth endlessly too?
We want to bring a fun and interactive learning experience about the man-made satellites to the people through the use of our app. This can be accessed easily by them on their smartphones: a handy satellite tracker tool in everyone's pocket! The game allows you to play with satellite building, look at satellite data and information, and browse the skies to see the satellites around the Earth. Through this, we hope that these man-made satellites will be marvelously appreciated as much as our moon.
With NASA's intent on launching new satellites, this opens an opportunity to expand our app in order to accommodate the brand new information that will be provided by these satellites. Our app could serve as a timeless medium for people to understand and learn about these newly launched satellites and what they can offer to us as human beings. Likewise, in the periods between these launches, further improvements towards our app would be the addition of further information on current satellites, the addition of missing satellites, and additional features such as real-time notification alerts about the satellites and integration of a better functioning AR system.
