High-Level Project Summary
We have developed this solution in order to fight with the axcessive air pollution in our cities. How does it solve the challenge? Well, by using autonomous drones with numerous sensors we can detect the most polluted areas in the city and copmare it to the the locations of factories, high speed traffic lines and other propable areas that have highest significance of air quality.

Detailed Project Description
Drone is based on RaspberryPI which is great minicomputer to connect all other devices. We use many different sensors and can measure parameters of air. Mainly we can measure PM2.5 , PM10 and PM25, temperature, humidity, pressure. Thanks to the accurate Waveshare GPS module we can show exact place, where the measurments were made. To connect our local ground station to RaspberryPI we have been used TOR connection which guarantees safety and protected connection. To configure our drone we used Open-Source project called "Mission Planner", thanks to this software we can easly prepare automatic missions. We also used RFD 868x to have the best connection between cotroller and drone which basically allow us to fly above 15km. We also developed web application, where we can check data on graphs from flight. The application was written in Angular TS technology and is made available on the hosting account of one of the team members. In the main window, visible immediately after loading the page, there is a map with marked places of measurements and the condition of the tested air in this place. In the panel on the right you can find detailed information about the city and population at the measurement site and the amount of pollutants found in the air. To facilitate human analysis of this data, it can be viewed in a graph that includes measurements from previous days. Based on the measurements, a verdict is made as to whether the air quality is correct, mediocre or dramatic. On the website you can also find a link to the project repository and the Space Apps Challenge home page.
Space Agency Data
We hasn't use NASA Data to complete our task.
Hackathon Journey
The way was very strange, we change our project in the middle od the event.
