High-Level Project Summary
It is an application that helps people how to prepare the missile for a specific mission using simulation, the person will start his journey by identifying the parts and components of the missile, he will learn how the missile is launched through programming, then he will install the missile parts with codes to launch the missile for his mission, the person will live the moment by delving into research and getting to know the Steps to prepare the missile for a specific mission, so it will be a journey full of exploration, this type of application is closer to the truth and a smooth and attractive way for everyone

Detailed Project Description
What exactly does it do? How does it work?
First, there will be a QR code for each mission that will provide them with a resource to help them understand and learn how to do the required mission, which will give them many programming skills and learn exciting things in space science and start with them at a very simple level, which increases their enthusiasm to explore more about missions and space
When starting the game, the following image will appear to them, which will lead you to start the game
After that, a box will appear for him allowing him to enter his name, then the sandbox will be selected, and this option allows us to make our own trips without restrictions, then we press start and our journey begins in discovering the world of space.
At the beginning of the trip, a QR code will appear to him that will help him understand the task he must accomplish. This will explain the details he will need, such as: how to build the missile, what parts he will need, how to connect the code with the simulator and how to build the code.
And now it is back to the KSP game in order to link the code in the game and then the code is returned to and run to start the launch process
And now when we click on start the server, then we go to the program and run, and now our journey into space begins
IMPORTANT FACTS :
One of the most important features of this experience is that it presents many facts about the risks that we may face when launching the missile because of its accuracy and that it makes the player feel that he has actually programmed the launch of a missile into space, which gives him a sense of pride and achievement, which motivates him to continue learning and spreading this achievement with the public.
What benefits does it have?
This idea was tested in an important event in Jordan, and the event was concerned with spreading space sciences, and we obtained high results when presenting this project. These results were taken from many important people.

When we connect program learning with space science, we get more than wonderful and different and change all the traditional methods
But why do we care about programming in space sciences?!
Since it has become one of the most important jobs that exist now and in the future, so to spread space science, we need a way to connect it with programming to attract more people even kids who are interested in learning to program now.
What do you hope to achieve?
We hope to achieve a series that will help facilitate learning for space science and help spread these sciences in several languages, including Arabic, by making a small book that contains a simplified explanation of the tasks that must be done in an easy and enjoyable way, with the presence of the QR code that will help Go to a video that explains this task
What tools, coding languages, hardware, or software did you use to develop your project?
We used the Python language and downloaded some special libraries that help us build and program a space rocket in an easy and fun way.
Space Agency Data
Kerbal Space Program developer Squad and NASA have teamed up to bring realistic rocket parts and the Asteroid Redirect Mission to the space simulation game.
KSP's upcoming mission shares it name with a NASA initiative that began in 2013 and will culminate in 2022 when a manned mission explores an asteroid. The game's mission has similar thematic objectives: identifying, intercepting and sending your Kerbals to conduct experiments on asteroids. The expansion will include "nearly a dozen new parts," according to the developer. Those include the game's largest fuel tanks and a robotic grappling device.
Hackathon Journey
Our experience in the space app was between the atmosphere of challenge, learning and thinking, and that how we must be accurate in the process of programming the rocket, and that any mistake will lead to the destruction of the rocket, and what inspired us to choose this challenge is the change that we will see on the community regarding space science, and we felt that The world is preparing towards programming, so if we get a way to integrate programming with space, which will lead to the dissemination of these sciences and change the view of society that they are hard sciences to learn. in this challenge
We will show our gratitude as KSP for providing an engaging and easy-to-learn space for learning space
