High-Level Project Summary
The challenge is: create a map of moonquakes. Our project is a website that will represent the seismic events detected by the EASEP and ALSEP instruments on an interactive lunar globe in 3D solving the problem of the divulgation of data.This project is important as Artemis II is currently planned to reach the moon. It will be the program's first crewed flight, which will develop greater ambitions in space such as establishing a regular lunar presence.We solved the challenge using various resources, the main one being the use of WebGL through the three.js framework. Using this javascript library we are going to model a sphere with the map of the moon to display the locations of the moonqu

Detailed Project Description
The project will help us to create a map, to view and analyze the seismic information of the moon. The challenge will be solved using various technologies, the main one being the use of WebGL through the three.js framework. Using this javascript library we are going to model a sphere with the map of the moon and we are going to display the locations of the earthquakes.
One of the benefits is that it will be an easy way to see all the data in a graphical way.
Looking for a solution we could see what we seek to achieve is that researchers can obtain and visualize the data in a more friendly way.
This project has a lot of potential since it can be made known by positioning ourselves as the best tool to interpret seismic data from the Moon.
This project could be funded or economically sustainable Through a NASA government innovation fund.Currently it will be server maintenance 5 dollars a month talking about phase, also se users and the customers will be future lunar mining companies, scientific researchers and the curious. We propose this business model: subscriptions for expanded data capabilities; enterprise data modeling and interpretation.

Space Agency Data
In this project we take advantage of the use of spatial data. As the information proposed by NASA, the seismic data was analyzed, which will help us to position the seismic movements around the moon. All this in order to achieve an interactive map and have a visualization of all the data in a more friendly and easy to interpret way.
Hackathon Journey
We are the Rigel team, we are made up of 3 people:
Ana, currently a 9th semester Mechatronics Engineering student at Tecnológico de Monterrey. Alumni FIRST Robotics Competition.
Diego is studying the 1st semester of mechanical engineering at the Tecnológico de Monterrey. Alumni FIRST Robotics Competition.
Misael is a software engineer, being the CEO of the company careme https://careme.mx/. Alumni FIRST Robotics Competition.
The challenge we chose was to create a moonquake map. One of the points that inspired us to choose this theme is that as our space exploration continues, we must adapt to all the dangers and features of our next homes, such as the Moon and, in the future, Mars.
Today, we believe that our tool helps spread spatial information, and introduces more people to the knowledge that took us decades to achieve.
In the future, it will be a common tool in the day to day of all of us.
Our solution was to create a website called space monitor, its function being a simple and friendly way in which the user can see and analyze the seismic data of the moon. The website works by positioning the moon in the center, while the user can rotate the moon to the position that the user likes, on the screen the data will be displayed in which mission the data was obtained, the type and the period. This is the first stage, eventually this data can be compared with land data so that the user can compare.
Our experience in this Hackathon was challenging, since we needed to learn many new topics that we had practically never used in our lives. As it is such an important topic as earthquakes, and even more to apply them to a previously analyzed website, but nothing is impossible, we consult different sources to help us make our website.
We would like to thank all our professors and mentors who, throughout our training as engineers, have supported us and taught us everything necessary to become great.
