High-Level Project Summary
The ChallengeNASA has a long and successful history of developing, launching, and operating Earth-observingmissions that have contributed significantly to our understanding of the planet. My challenge is tocreate an engaging multimedia depiction of all NASA’s Earth-observing missions that alsodemonstrates how the mission set evolved over time to include new technologies and meetscience-driven needs.ObjectivesThe focus of this challenge is to showcase NASA’s long history of observing Earth from space to abroad audience in an engaging manner.

Detailed Project Description
The Earth Observing System (EOS) is a program of NASA comprising a series
of artificial satellite missions and scientific instruments in Earth orbit designed for
long-term global observations of the land surface, biosphere, atmosphere, and oceans.
Since the early 1970s, NASA has been developing its Earth Observing System, launching a
series of LANDSAT satellites in the decade. Some of the first included Passive-Microwave
imaging in 1972 through the Nimbus 5 Satellite.[1] Following the launch of various satellite
missions, the conception of the program began in the late 80s and expanded rapidly
through the 90s.[2] Since the inception of the program, it has continued to develop to what
we can collect in data today, including; land, sea, radiation and atmosphere.[1] Collected in a
system known as EOSDIS, NASA uses this data in order to study the progression and
changes in the biosphere of Earth. The main focus of this data collection surrounds
climatic science.
Space Agency Data
- we used data from the websites Basic Details on Many NASA Earth-Observing Satellites
- ,Websites about NASA Missions
and also used some information from the wikipedia website like about the founder of NASA and about the history of NASA.
Hackathon Journey
we learnt about many things by visiting the other projects (challenge) members in our break times.
