High-Level Project Summary
On Earth, we prepare for earthquakes with earthquake-ready construction, earthquake alarms, and readiness kits in areas where earthquakes are likely to occur. now we. plans a prolonged mission to the moon, will we need to make similar preparations? In this activity, we’re going to examine The objective of our project is to study about the moonquakes or lunar quakes for future aspects.We have developed a visual interface to demonstrate a seismic a wave on moon.We were able to plot the coordinates of longitude and latitude successfully and present the waves on moon which gave us a better idea about it's impact and cost that too using two different technologies web and augmented reality.

Detailed Project Description
On Earth, we prepare for earthquakes with earthquake-ready construction, earthquake alarms, and readiness kits in areas where earthquakes are likely to occur. Does we need to take similar actions for the moon also.
Language used: HTML, JavaScript, Python and its libraries
In this activity, We’re going to examine evidence of seismic activity on the moon with 3D map visualization. We’ll consider patterns in moonquakes measured by seismometers laid down by astronauts during the early Apollo missions, and high resolution images captured by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera.
Study Area and Data
3D visualization map of Apollo Station and concentric circle seismic waves on moon with latitude, longitude, magnitude on Richter scale and Date & time.

between one way travel time v/s Epicentral distance
The Conclusion are as follows:
- We develop an app that plots the seismic data these instruments transmitted back to Earth on an interactive 3D globe.
- So, in this we have implemented a model which on hovering tells the proxite location of epicenter of moonquake by using the latitude and longitude.
- We have applied seismic interferometry to P wave codas of deep moonquakes (DMSI) recorded by the Apollo seismic stations to retrieve a reflection image of the Moon's subsurface
- We visualize data of seismic waves and show on 3D model.
Space Agency Data
We used specific data provided by NASA and JAXA in the resource column of our challenge.
After that, the data was converted into CSC file using Data Analysis.
Afterwards we created a JSON file and with the help of that we were able to visually plot the data into our web app.
The data inspired us in a way that the four seismometers deployed by Apollo astronauts on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972 was in binary format and was not visually appealing. These instruments gathered data continuously until 1977, making the Moon the only extraterrestrial body for which extensive seismic data has been gathered.

Description of arrivals CSV
- Space stations from 12 to 16, with data from the station n. 12 being of the highest quality.
- Wave types being S or P:
* P-waves: primary waves that arrive first.
* S-waves: secondary waves that arrive later.
Hackathon Journey
Well, the technical definition of Hackathons is — “A hackathon is a design sprint-like event; often, in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, domain experts, and others collaborate intensively on software projects.”
For me, the definition would be — “A Hackathon is an event where hackers, beginners or experienced, come together to learn, have fun, grow and interact “Let's be honest, not everyone can win, but everyone can at least try.
as i met some of the smartest minds in the Galgotias University, Greater Noida when it comes to technology
I heard a lot of new things that I have never heard before, Slack (The group chats application), swags (free give away stuff in hackathon), hackathons, etc…. One thing I was particularly interested in was hackathon. A very interesting event for all coders, where all participants were called ‘hackers,’ where they ‘hack’ for 24-hours continuously. Back then, I did not understand what hackathon really was. Though, all the pictures and videos about the hackathon event attracted me a lot. It shows people coding, laughing, sleeping on the floor next to their working desks, and pizzas! I felt like I must participate and find out more about it.
