The Journey to The Sun

High-Level Project Summary

Stargazers presents you the grand website from where you can explore the journey of Parker solar probe. We have used narration and video for sole purpose of story telling about this beautiful journey. Since the information is presented in a simpler and layman way , not just a few scientific minds but every kind of users can easily get through the narration which signifies importance of the probe project. To cut the long story short, this project by Stargazers describes the journey of Parker Solar Probe in a way that every night gazers, a child and an old, can easily understand rather than being limited to the people from scientific background.Graze star, Graze past, We are stargrazers

Detailed Project Description

How we addressed this Challenge?

Our Team stargazers chose the challenge “On the way to Sun” for the 2022 NASA Space Apps Challenge. The Challenge was to develop a creative way to tell young audience the inspiring story of the Parker’s record-breaking journey from Earth to the Sun and all the perils it overcame on the way.

We have successfully created a website that is divided into different sections named Origin, Necessity, Challenges and solutions, Journey , Accomplishment and Doubt Clearance through which we have portrayed the story with the help of videos with embedded audios. We have delivered the story in the simplest way possible.

With the help of our website, any person can get a proper understanding of the Parker’s journey.

We used HTML and CSS for the front-end.

We used Canva for video and image editing both.

We used Java script for the back-end. Also the site contains interactive 3d animation of Parker Solar Probe where anyone fascinated can see the probe in s 3d way. The timeline of the probe till 2025 is also there to provide insights on probes future positions. We have tried our best to merge and provide the complete information in a consise way as much as possible. All the information provided on our website regards how well our challenge has been addressed.

Hackathon Journey

We are a group of six high school students from Pokhara, Nepal. We got connected to each other due to our shared interests. NASA Space App Challenge assisted in bringing us together. We chose this challenge because it was well received by everyone.

Our main goal was to tell the inspiring story of the Parker Solar Probe, which accomplished the extremely difficult work.

First, we divide our team into two sections. One of the team members did all of the research. Another team assisted in displaying it on the website. This is how we divided the work. We designed a website model. That made things a lot easier for us.

During this challenge, we faced numerous challenges. And we also found a solution to that by having a conversation with our team. This challenge taught us many valuable life lessons. We'd like to thank NASA for developing such a platform.
