Project Details
The Challenge | Orbital Scrap Metal — The Video Game
Nuts, bolts, spent rocket stages, and broken pieces of satellites orbiting Earth are just a few of the many thousands of items known as orbital debris, or space junk. Your challenge is to create an orbital debris collection videogame web-app! You may build upon NASA’s Spacebirds and real data.
Space Recycle (Game)
An educational game which promotes the recycling of space debree and waste
The goal of Space Recycle is to build a spaceship from the recycled space debris you collect. You travel around the Earth and try to catch every bolt you fly by. Every piece you don't catch decreases your life count. If you are able to gather enough metal you win and build the spaceship. The game gets harder the longer you survive without losing. Space Recycle also visualizes the amount of "space junk" that is in our planet's orbit.
