High-Level Project Summary
We have created a VR narrative software that gives you the impression that you are travelling through space with the first satellite to come the closest to the sun, "The Parker Solar Probe." No other artificial structure can approach the sun thus closely. We will chronicle the entire history of the Parker Solar Probe in this VR app, from its inception to the present. All of the challenges encountered on the solar probe's trip will be detailed in the narrative. The youngsters will be drawn to and inspired to create and learn more about space by the sound effects of wind, pressure, and other space-related information.

Detailed Project Description
VR game will allow user to experience journey of parker solar probe from earth surface to sun. All planets in the journey will be explored in VR format. It will be a great and informative way of exploring solar system in innovative way. We will be demonstrating a detailed animated virtual reality video where you may feel as though you are sitting in the spacecraft that will take you on a tour of space using a VR software that shares information about space and adds sound effects.
We are using Unity to build the VR app, the VR frame, and the animated video; all of the features included in this project were designed in the Unity Hub.
Everything from the Earth's atmosphere to the space environment will be covered, along with specific details about all the space bodies between the Sun and Earth.
The story will begin at the beginning of the solar system, detailing the rise of NASA, the development of technology, and the development of spacecraft, including the Solar Probe.
Project will plot proper timeline start, mid, end of journey. Parker Solar Probe’s interactions with Venus (gravity assists) will also be included in VR. Struggles of Parker Satellite to complete its journey will attract students and players in the space journey. In design of game we have considered design of Parker Solar Probe’s heat shield, learning about Venus from Parker Solar Probe, Earth’s magnetosphere, Earth weather condition, Earth’s upper atmosphere and Solar storm affects.
Space Agency Data
Hackathon Journey
It allowed us to explore solar probe in great way. This platform gave us chance to see insight of Parker solar probe and how great work it has done in history. We hope to do more such creative and innovative projects in future.
