In this game players take control of the James Webb telescope, shooting images of distant celestial bodies. The telescope sensors need to be fine - tuned, before taking an image. The player uses equatorial coordinates - Rec and Dec, in order to orient the telescope camera. The player uses WASD keys to rotate the telescope. Once in position, the player presses "space" key to take an image of that area. If the real JWST has data on that section of space, it is visualized to the player. In that way, the capabilities and recorded data by JWST can be explored and visualized. The public, playing with the simulator, can gain a better understanding of its capabilities and operations.

We thank NASA for the provided 3D model of JWST. It was a bit challenging converting it from Maya to a more open file format but we managed! In addition, we used recourses - images, taken by the JWST and incorporated them in our solution
It was a fun and challenging experience! We enjoyed researching about the capabilities of JWST and applying the learned lessons in our simulator. We hope players and judges have similar fun and educational experience

#Simulator, #JWST, #infraredcamera,
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the largest, most powerful, and most complex space science telescope ever built. Your challenge is to develop a game to help people learn about the James Webb Space Telescope’s amazing capabilities.
