Carmen City | Nimbus to Now: The History of NASA’s Earth-Observing Missions

With love -A scientist.

High-Level Project Summary

With love -A scientist aims to bring the love and knowledge towards satellite launches closer to people, because of this we have created a website where we can share the first 4 satellites launched by NASA.Through time we could identify a bunch of people looking to know more about the subject, but the technical language wasn't easy to comprehend, taking this in mind a question raised, Why not create an interactive platform for all ages, taking out the technical knowledge? We are faithful believers that knowledge is there to be used, comprehended and questioned by everyone, so our solution is focused on everyone above 15 years old.

Detailed Project Description

We present a project focused on education in which we developed a website where you can find information oriented to the Earth Observing Missions and it is intended that in later phases we optimize our site to be able to provide more content for our Internet users, here you will find interactive videos for the user so that the topic is more entertaining and easier to understand, we thought of a website since as a team we agree that COVID-19 taught us that the internet is a very important tool for learning and is currently simpler simply look for a link and enter directly to an internet page


In this site the community can interact with the creators, it can be used on windows or apple computers and for the creation of the page we use the wix software and hardware together with various audio and video tools.


We take an approach based on knowledge development stages, currently we included the first 4 launched satellites, we present they’re basic info like: satellite name, years in service and current mission status, place of launch, mission objective and the accomplishments made, mission category( exploration, data compilation, etc.) and the partners involved in the mission.

Space Agency Data

We address all space lovers in "we love - a scientist" on our website in order to make a learning space more interesting, easy, fun and with photographs used for our gallery and videos and true information as it was compiled from accounts such as NASA's Earth Observing System, Mexican Space Agency and other space agencies.

Hackathon Journey

Working in a challenge like this, for an organization like NASA presents an opportunity to take all the knowledge you have and fuse with other people with different skills, strengths, points of view and interest. Gathering a diverse team helps each individual to grow in their own field of expertise as well as in the one they’re not so good at so it is a unique opportunity for getting real world experience and knowledge. As far as selecting a challenge the main reason is the personal interest of the team and choosing a subject that requires all the team strengths to make the most of it. When a problem is presented the approach was the most simple and broad solution possible, one that could be used by the majority of the population with the least complications. When a setback is presented the first thing to do is take one step back before the issue is raised so we could take a different route to solve the issue before it is presented. The only thank the team would like to make is for the opportunity to take part in such a big event.

Nimbus to Now: The History of NASA’s Earth-Observing Missions

NASA has a long and successful history of developing, launching, and operating Earth-observing missions that have contributed significantly to our understanding of the planet. Your challenge is to create an engaging multimedia depiction of all NASA’s Earth-observing missions that also demonstrates how the mission set evolved over time to include new technologies and meet science-driven needs.
