Universal Event | Drones and Satellites for Urban Development

Horizon: For better quality of life, and a better future.

High-Level Project Summary

Through brainstormings, bibliographical research on several sites, analysis of geographic data from space agencies, we observed that urban problems have extremely complex issues, however, with the use of UAVs and satellite data it is possible create solutions to these problems. In this way, we created Horizon, a consulting company that uses space technology and UAVs to provide innovative, inclusive, sustainable and disaster-resilient urban plans. Therefore, this company is the set of all research, the set of all solutions for the problems faced daily. Its importance comes with a humanized look, providing society a better quality of life, in other words, more social development.

Detailed Project Description

Horizonte's mission is through the use of space technology and UAVs, provide innovative, inclusive, sustainable and disaster-resilient urban plans. It would work as a consultancy service for cities, having as main activities: The collection of demands (urban problems) of any kind; An in-depth study/analysis on the problem; Development of the Solution; Implementation and Evaluation. This business initiative would bring countless benefits to urban development, from traffic issues to weather conditions, and in the future, with a company and robust value proposition, reach countries and the world.

For the elaboration we created a Business Model Canvas. Photoshop for the elaboration of the visual identity and the ShotCut video editor to edit the Demo Project.

Several platforms were used to organize the group, such as: Discord, Meet, Trello, Whatsapp, JamBoard, Docs, Power Point.

Space Agency Data

For the development of the solution, and throughout the entire Hackathon, several databases and bibliographic references were used to bring the project life.

On issues of data from space agencies:

-The WorldView.EartData database was used to visualize issues such as the concentration of dust on the surface, the level of fires and thermal anomalies... In addition, we used LandViewer, in addition to databases such as SPOT 5 and Kompsat-3A

Hackathon Journey

Indeed it was a tiring and inspiring journey. The entire team has a great interest in the space sector, and working as a team towards something you believe in is very uplifting.

We learn things related to the chosen theme to personal issues.
