Team Updates

Also a question is it possible to schedule a google meet or something like that so that proper roles can be assigned to us on thne basis of that.

Hey Madison C. Feehan thank you so much for letting me be a part of your time. I am a CSE student from Vellore Institute of Technology , India. I am a CSE student. I have experience in C++ , Java and Frontend Development. If there's any kind of help needed from my side kindly tell me all the requirements. I'll research more on the image integration part and will post a thorough analysis of the information gathered as soon as my uni classes get over for the day.

Super excited to be a part of this journey :)

IMPORTANT!  All Teammates please read!


Hello Teammates, 


This is Madison.  Just wanted to send out a group message so that we can all introduce ourselves here on the team board portal.  Can’t wait to work with all of you, I’m sure we’ll do wonderful things together.  


I’ll start with the introductions: I’m a university student studying business at 2 post-secondaries (Harvard and Athabasca University).  I also do part-time contract work for NASA’s Planetary Science Division as an executive panelist for developing lunar instruments; and at the European Space Agency as a data analyst.  


I have extensive background knowledge relating to NASA and STEM competitions, and I’ve been working on this Jovian project for a few months.  


Now, I need some talented teammates to do some research about how JunoCam can integrate its images to a more practical sense.  The goal of this year’s Space Apps Challenge is to develop an open-source image-editing application (or other free alternative) to develop color images using the three JunoCam-generated grayscale images representing the RGB colors.


Basically what this means is we should come up with an idea with a similar concept to Zooniverse’s Jovian Vortex Hunter!

(link: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/ramanakumars/jovian-vortex-hunter


Take a look at that link, read about it and consider doing some classifications.


Also, take a look at the official JunoCam website’s “ThinkTank” where people discuss how to integrate JunoCam images into something scientifically practical: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/think-tank 


After you’ve done some research let’s start brainstorming some ideas to integrate this data into useful information, for example:


- NASA could place satellites around Jupiter's orbit to analyze how it prevents asteroids from colliding with Earth and use the collision pattern to predict space events and improve DART technology.


- Find out what other types of space weathering can be analyzed on Jupiter with JunoCam.


- Compare Jovian vortices to Earth weather anomalies and figure out if their environmental and chemical constituents are related.


These are just a few practical applications that I’ve come up with so far.  Let's innovate some more ideas and incorporate them into a slideshow with a brief write-up on each idea.


How do we accomplish this?  We do research!  On the Space Apps Challenge guidelines, there are links to OpenSource data provided by NASA and other space agencies around the world.  You can start exploring there if you would like.  Or maybe you want to conduct some internet research about JunoCam and write up a brief summary about your findings!

We are always open to brain-storming and new ideas!  No matter how much or how little you have to contribute, you are a valuable part of our team, and any type of research or write-up is extremely appreciated.


Please send me some information about yourself and a picture of yourself so that I can credit everyone’s contributions properly.


If you would like more details or if you have any questions, please DM me on Discord (Dolly#2696) or send me an email: madisonfeehan@shaw.ca

Hello Everyone:


My name is Madison C. Feehan and I am the head of the Jovian Data Analyzers team for the 2022 NASA Space Apps Challenge!


The goal of this year's challenge is to create innovative ways to process JunoCam's raw images for scientific and artistic purposes. A great place to start learning about Jovian Vortex data analysis is Project TESS on Zooniverse (link below).


Everyone is welcome to join this team as we work to create some collaborative ideas about how JunoCam's imaging system can be utilized to integrate science goals and artistic inspiration. Please feel free to contact me at: madisonfeehan@shaw.ca


Looking forward to participating in this year's events, follow along for regular team updates!
