Awards & Nominations

Rocket Code has received the following awards and nominations. Way to go!

Global Nominee

Moonquake Visualizer

High-Level Project Summary

The goal of this project was to visualize the recorded data of NASA for the earthquakes that happen all over the moon.

Detailed Project Description

The moonquake visualizer aims to help researchers identify where recorded quakes have occurred all over the moon. 

We aimed to give the most value to the data and create a UI able to showcase its worth to the user. The user is able to select from 3 different datasets and see the location, recorded date, and other information that came with its dataset.



The final project used the following technologies:

  • ReactJS
  • Typescript
  • Vite
  • react-globe
  • ThreeJS
  • moment

Space Agency Data

The data that was used came from the following sources:

  • https://pds.nasa.gov/ds-view/pds/viewBundle.jsp?identifier=urn%3Anasa%3Apds%3Aapollo_seismic_event_catalog&version=1.0
  • https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/details.cgi?aid=4720

Hackathon Journey

Through the hackathon, we had the opportunity to use tools related to 3D visualization and data coordinates.

We analyzed numerous methods on how the data would be displayed and we came up with a 3D visualization of the moon and the locations of each record.

Out of it, we were able to understand the importance of 3D visualization for the user.

We are thankful to the Hackerspace team for providing insight, a place for us to work, and the energy to keep on going to the very end.
