Awards & Nominations
Atlas Unisuam has received the following awards and nominations. Way to go!
Global Nominee
ATLAS Discovery
High-Level Project Summary
ATLAS Discovery is a Web App developed to transmit in a dynamic and didactic way the data collected from the latest solar space missions. The goal is to help users not only deepen their knowledge of the Sun, but also the importance of these missions and their impact on human life.

Detailed Project Description
ATLAS Discovery is developed based on data collected from ships and devices that study the sun. In order to facilitate the understanding of this information, it is inserted in the App in a dynamic way, that is, the user can venture into a logical learning flow in which, by means of interactive buttons and engagement activities, experiences can be created throughout the journey. Divided into sections, the App brings together the following topics: importance of missions, study of the sun, what solar space missions are underway, data collected, the impacts they have on human life and the future of space technology, and interactive stories aimed at children discovering how spacecraft get to space.
To achieve this, ATLAS Discovery uses an easy-to-navigate interface, sounds, vibration effects and 3D models based on AR technology, and games that together make the user experience even more immersive.
Below is just an illustration of the ATLAS interface:

Space Agency Data
The data made available on the official platforms allowed the information used for the development of this project to be collected, directing the development of the interface. Citing:
Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS): official portal with information about the exploration of the Earth, sun, planets and universe. It was the source for photographs inserted in the Parker Solar Probe App created by SVS and based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Space Weather Prediction Center (National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration): infographics and diagrams about collected data such as Aurora Borealis, solar cycle progression and solar wind.
Hackathon Journey
It was an experience of great challenges and learning, which added knowledge not only to the academic and professional life, but also to the personal life. The team deepened their knowledge regarding special missions and was stimulated in their social awareness. The potential of the project was identified to reach different people around the world and to transmit scientific knowledge in a dynamic way, where one learns along the interaction with the interface. This development was possible thanks to the integration of technical data and digital tools, which were adjusted and analyzed to contribute to the project. The Atlas team is grateful for the opportunity to participate in Hackathon 2022!
