High-Level Project Summary
What we’re trying to offer is a better environment on social media and to provide information about NASA’s earth observing missions, so an animation video was developed to present the idea in a simpler way that can be reached by children to elders to let everyone know about those missions as NASA has held over 60 earth observing missions throughout the years that hasn’t been heard about from most people.

Detailed Project Description
Detailed project description: the project (which is a video) is an animation video made by “animaker” which is a site and an app that provides making animation videos from all kinds for beginners as we used it to simplify the idea of the project which is to make NASA’s earth observing missions more heard about through common people as the video is about a boy discovering more about the space in a non-boring way and we are aiming to make a series of short videos that talk about those missions to make it more suitable for social media to be posted as a reel on Instagram or Facebook or as a short on YouTube.
Space Agency Data
we learned more from space agency data about satellites. We knew more about their types. The first type we learned about is Aqua a major international Earth Science satellite mission centered at NASA. Launched on May 4, 2002, the satellite has six different Earth-observing instruments on board and is named for a large amount of information it collects about water in the Earth system. Aqua gathers this information from its stream of approximately 89 Gigabytes of data a day. The second one was Sentinel-6B: The satellite will carry several instruments to support science goals. A Radar Altimeter will bounce signals off the ocean surface. Sea surface height will be determined based on the time it takes each pulse to travel from the satellite to the ocean and back again. The third one was the Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor Satellite (ACRIMSAT): The Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor Satellite (ACRIMSAT) was launched on December 20, 1999, as a secondary payload on a Taurus launch vehicle and carries the Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor 3 (ACRIM3) instrument. The science mission began on April 5, 2000, following a period of on-orbit adjustment of the solar-pointing software on ACRIMSAT. The purpose of ACRIM3 is to study Total Solar Irradiance (TSI). The fourth one was Aquarius. It was a pathfinder mission to demonstrate that accurate, scientifically-significant measurements of salinity could be made from space. It was also the first mission to combine use of passive (radiometer) and active (radar) measurements at the L-band. We used these data to make the script of the video that we did.
Hackathon Journey
To keep up with the train of science, you have to join programs, competitions, and hackathons like the NASA space apps hackathon, which was an amazing experience, to be part of it. We were put under stress which made us confused at first but we put ourselves together to reach our goal. So, we learned to work as teammates and we enjoyed this so much. It also encouraged us to be open to the scientific world by living two days out of our home working eating sleeping in the same place and this enhanced teamwork also. The nature of the environment inspired us to improve the idea of the challenge which was chosen carefully by classifying all of the challenges according to our performance and what we are good at. The project was an animation video its function is to attract the most audience from children, teenagers leading to adult people to make them accepter to the information freely and enjoy it.
