High-Level Project Summary

We have tried to make a platform which shows the seismic data of the moonquakes collected by various Apollo expeditions conducted by NASA. It comprises of an Android Application and a 3D model of Moon. The Application is made in Android Studio and is mainly responsible for showing the contents related to the seismic activities which were performed by the Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17. The 3D Model is made in Unity 3D and it is mainly responsible for the visualization of the seismic data region-wise on the moon surface which shows more data when clicked upon.We have tried to create a user friendly interface so that it can be operated by everybody.

Detailed Project Description

Our project consists of two major parts the first one is Android Application and the other one consists of Unity 3D part. Talking about the Android Application part we have added a splash screen with the Lottie animation which improves the user experience then we have the home screen which is having the two major question related to the moon and the moon quakes, in the main screen we have two buttons the first one navigates us to the Apollo mission page where we have listed out all the Apollo mission with the short summary so that any one can easily understand regarding the mission and the outcome, if someone wants to know more about that then they can read it by clicking on CLICK HERE button which opens the reference URL consisting about the complete knowledge about the mission. The other button is used to navigate to the Unity 3D integration of our application, We have integrated Unity Library in the Android app for the smooth navigation. 

In the Unity 3D app we have added the moon and the earth models where moon is revolving around the sun and there are many pointers marked on the surface of the moon which indicates the Apollo mission on the different parts of the moon, by clicking on the each space shuttle we will be navigated to the reference URL for the complete information, the other part consists of the heat map and the information regarding the heat map of the moon in the space. 


The Technologies we have used are Kotlin Xml, Unity 3D and C#.

Hackathon Journey

We spent quite a lot of time brainstorming and we all agreed to work on something new and exciting to learn new things during this journey so we picked the moonquakes challenge. This was an intense 48 hours hackathon in which time constraint was a major factor for us. The main challenge in this hackathon was to integrate two different technology which are native android development & AR/VR to represent the moonquake seismic data on the moon by 3d visualizing it. Also in this hackathon we got an opportunity to learn about the Moon topography and Moonquake which plays a crucial role in the space exploration. Also we have to do a lot of research about the moonquake and read numerous articles of space agency like NASA, JAXA & Australia space agency, analyzing the seismographic information was also challenging. With good team work and willingness to learn we successfully made the project which has seismological data of the moonquake in the systematic manner which was gathered in various Apollo mission by many equipment.
