High-Level Project Summary
Develop an idea for a page to track the ISS in real tie that is in interactive 3D. The iterface was designed to do be simple so that people of any age can visualize the ISS in an easy way. meet the challange because we mananged to get some phast to the solution that are based on "Blender" (program for 3d modeling). Use of CSS to generate the estetic part of the page that will later be made interactive with Java Script. Another way is to use "Unity" engine, which can also be loaded into a web (html) project. IT is important for the dissemination of research provided bi the ISS and teaching for new generations.

Detailed Project Description
what it does is receive informaion of latitude and altitue of where the ISS is located, then pass this data to python that will then modify the parameters, so that in "blender" (3D models) it is modified in real time. The other option is to use a Unity engine together a code that track the ISS and the unity would transform it into a "game" that you can see the ISS together the earth.
The benefits in the either case is that it ould be interactive and easy to use.
You can see information of demostrations, also a list of variables than can or not be shown depending on the user election.
Distance, layers of the atmosphere and information from the ISS can be displayed.
We hope that anyone can use this page without complications and very simple so that everyone can acces the information.
Space Agency Data
We use a project from 2015 that someone who already done on ISS tracking to give us ideas, we use blender, python, lucidchart, unity and nasa pages (where you have information from the ISS, national commission of space activities)
This guy's project helped us to start with a basic idea of everything to know what to start with...
The NASA page gave us a lot of information about the ISS and provided us with an image and a lot of data, such as the names and biographies of the astronauts on board with their mission.
Lucidchart helped us to create an interface with good quality and also simple.
Hackathon Journey
Our experience with space apps was very good, we all loved spending time programming seeing what didn't work and trying new things.
The truth first among, the four choose a different project, one each and then we made a vote for which we would like more to do, and this project capted our attention, because the difficulty that could give us and also because we liked the idea of doing something 3D.
