High-Level Project Summary
Data about space weather and the Sun are gathered by numerous NASA satellites, including the most sophisticated PARKER Solar Probe. These spacecraft's data collection helps us predict significant solar occurrences and increases our understanding of space weather. The statistics, however, may appear rather perplexing and perhaps intimidating to a larger audience. In order to assist people comprehend space weather and its importance, we have created an interactive and imaginative tool. Our application provides users of all ages with an enjoyable way to learn about space weather and its effects by providing an AR and VR view of NASA spacecraft, a Parker Solar Probe game, and so on.

Detailed Project Description
What is Space Weather:
The surface of the Sun, known as the Corona, emits many gasses and particles and these gasses and particles cause a type of weather which is known as space weather.[1][5] During solar storms, solar flares and Coronal mass ejection, Space weather can cause radio and magnetic disruptions and become unfavorable for life and technologies on earth.[2][3][4]
Additional Details:
We have added a few features using AR and VR, while AR is used to visualize the heliophysics to give viewers an understanding about NASA’s expanded mission on solar weather.
While our goal is to stimulate users' attention through our 3D model of Parker Solar Probe, the app also contributes data.
We developed a game where users can pilot the PSP and at the same time see the speed and separation between the Sun. To give end users a more comprehensive understanding, audio of engines with increasing speed has been incorporated.
Dynamic interface enables real-time data analysis from PSP using API from http://parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu/
Since the app is designed for learners of any age, we hope to reach a large number of people leaving with consolidated knowledge.
Benefits
The benefits our application provides are: Realistic experience, better data visualization, tweaked curiosity about space weather and its significance, better data accessibility. We hope to create an Interactive app to represent Parker Solar Probe data in a new and inviting way that enhances curiosity and improves attention by engaging them.

Hackathon Journey
It is my dream to participate in hackathon. I didn’t get any chance to be there and show my talent to them. One-day one of my friend told me about his selection in 50 toppers.It was a big challenge to get selected in hackathon,because as per his term it is very tough to get selected in last 50,because there are many talented and advance category’s programmer.Then I collected all type of information from him,and at that time somehow I managed all of my friends about hackathon and make a team to participate.At first they were very scared because it was their first hackathon too.But we all were so enthusiastic and excited that we dared to participate.After joining, we found the environment very friendly and favourable.There judges are so punctual and prudent.We are very thrilled to be attending our first hackathon hosted by “NASA Space App Challenge”.It was an amazing experience being able to take part in such a wonderfully planned event, and We learned so much during the event.We were introduced to many experienced people of our sector.We interact with people and work on problems and techs which we might never have used.Moreover,we met people from all over the region and had a chance to interact and build a good bonding with them,My teammates were there to handle a lot of things.There they arranged songs and jokes to entertain us as it was a very long hackathon.This hackathon has given us so much confidence and lifetime memories. I am extremely happy that we were able to participate in the NASA space app challenge.
