Vibratio13 is a prototype of a web application design to consult in a graphical way the information of the seismic events captured in the Moon by the Apollo expeditions (11, 12, 14, 15 and 16) and the Early Apollo Surface Experiments Package (EASEP) and Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) stations.

It works by pulling the data provided by “PDS Geosciences Node” in the form of Comma Separated Values (CSV) and, after a standarization, it loads the project by JSON structures.

The web application provides a visual and interactive way for curious spectators and the scientific community to obtain information and learn about moonquakes, their behaviour, intensity and precise location which can be used to learn more about the Moon’s geology, establish predictions and patterns on future moonquakes, and support future Moon colonization missions such as Artemis.

We expect to provide and inform the general public, as well as the scientific community, the historical seismic activity on our natural satellite in an interactive, captivating and easy-to-understand manner. We also expect to generate a general framework that all space agencies around the world can use and modify to visualize all seismic activity data acquired.

Several software packages were used to achieve this. The EASEP and ALSEP stations' 3D models made to provide dynamic visuals in the app were made through the Solidworks and Blender software. CAD Exchanger was also used to to convert Solidworks’ formats. The software packages used for coding the web application were HTML, CSS, Javascript, Visual Studio, and Three.js.

Vibratio13 was build taking advantage of numerous and diverse sources of data provided by NASA. For example, Apollo Lunar Surface Journal was extensively used to design the EASEP and ALSEP models and acquire information of each station during each Apollo landing mission.

NASA’s PDS Geosciences Node was used to extract the seismology data inside the proyect, which was taken as csv files and then standarized with better date formats. After that, it was converted into JSON and imported to Vibratio13.

We also used information from the Scientific Visualization Studio in order to visualize our tridimensional Moon model.

Since it was our first time attending the Space App hackathon, we encountered several obstacles throughout the development of the project. Our most concerning issue was that the main data resource we were supposed to use was unavailable due to external issues with the server. Since we were forced to get out of our comfort zone to look for alternative sources of data, we learned a lot of multiple libraries, frameworks and several other possible tools to help us achieve our goal and even imporve our original idea.

We wanted to take this specific project to actually challenge ourselves while creating a functional application for scientific research, as well as for the general public. We could never had imagined how much we would struggle and learn from this experience. We know that our product can evolve to become a useful tool for anyone interested in seismology or related fields of study.

We are very grateful with all the people that made this event possible. We could not have developed our product to this stage without their advice and enthusiasm. The whole team is looking forward to more experiences like this in the future.
