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!
Satellite Chasers
Satellite Chasers is a multiplayer game designed to check in satellites overhead for points and leaderboard bragging rights!
Satellite Chasers is a mobile multiplayer game designed to encourage the average gamer to explore satellites and their collected data. Two-line elements are pulled from the N2YO API, converted into geodetic coordinates, and represented graphically using the NASA WorldWind API. Coordinate conversions and SGP4 modeling were computed using the Satellite.js library. Visual representations were mocked up in Adobe XD. User and satellite data are stored using MySQL and PHP.
