how to prevent catastrophes using drones and satelites ?

High-Level Project Summary

Wildfires are a problem in many countries, including my own. It's concerning that some of them were set on purpose. Keeping track of wildfires as they emerge is critical to fighting them before they spread, and the worst part is that the earth is losing its lengths, so if the forest can't help the land, it will perish, and the temperature will rise frequently, causing massive damage to the global atmosphere, including volcano eruptions, as seen in Huawei yesterday and the Canary Islands a week ago. It doesn't stop there! we must mention the ice melting issues. So we found a solution for all these problems using the latest technologies : drones and satelites..gathering them can save us !

Detailed Project Description

To deal with this problem, we propose to release a network of drones in strategic sites. Their mission would be to fly to a pre-defined height and take 360 degree imagery, along with collecting enviroment data such as speah of the wind and current temperature. An AI would examine this imagery to see if there was a fire in a specific location and calculate the time for the fire to spread ,then notifies the authorities if there is one.

o complete this project, we recommend an experemental try : beginning with one drone and testing its capabilities.

The drone would lift off at a specified altitude, record 360-degree imagery by merging photos from all directions together, and then land, after that it would be charged for the next flight using a dedicated landing pad.After that , the collected data from the field would be delivered to a land-based computer for AI analysis (RasPi or an alternative) to identify the imagery and determine whether or not there is a wildfire.

in addition to that, we will attche urban air mobility using reviews from stelites ,to the drones in order to stay a step ahead of a catastrophes using one of nasa's resources , a specific satellites NOAA 20 VIIRS , they switch time updates per day wich provide us a data sent to drones to check the areas monitored

Hackathon Journey

it was an intersting experience , we leaned specific skills such as how to work within team under pressure together , and solve each other 's problems the most important thing is to use Nasa ressources in order to build our project , all along with software and hardware contenents .

the insperation to this challenge was our leader , he had the idea at first , and we -team members- helped him to devlop it as we re trying to gather our thoughts !

so we would like to thank the 10'th space agences for this opportunity , and judges for their time , and finally the monitors who walks us through this journey
