High-Level Project Summary
A drone detecting system uses a high-resolution infrared camera along with three different kinds of light to spot the plastic.The detection methods are composed of two different wavelengths of infrared light, which illuminate the absorption spectra in microplastics and make them stand out from the sand and plant life. our project idea is that we use drones that are attached with camera & rays macro plastic .drones are outfitted with hyperspectral cameras to differentiate plastic from its surroundings. Without human interference, the debris can be counted and quantified to figure out where it’s coming from. With this information, a plan can be put into place to remove the garbage tofixpro

Detailed Project Description
- •The air we breathe: The ocean produces over 50% of the world's oxygen.
- •Climate regulation: Covering 70% of the Earth's surface.
- •Transportation: 76% of all U.S. trade involves some form of marine transportation.
- •Recreation: From fishing to boating to kayaking and whale watching, the ocean provides us with many unique activities.
- •Economic benefits: $282 billion – Amount the U.S. ocean economy produces in goods and services. Ocean-dependent businesses employ almost 3 million people.
- •Food: The ocean provides more than just seafood. Ingredients from the sea are found in surprising foods such as peanut butter and soymilk.
- •Medicine: Many drugs' products come from the ocean, including ingredients that help fight cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and heart disease.”
Space Agency Data
- control of the drone will be by satellite which it will be easier for the GBS and to find it faster
Hackathon Journey
It’s a great opportunity very glad I joined this hackathon journey learnt a lot about different branches of science
Ai,aerodynamic and about earth environment and the ocean very intresting overall
Our challenge was one from a different kind and perspective as we should take into consideration life’s of living things like sea creatures when we can’t actually discus it with them we developed out project buy using new methods that have been introduced in today’s world
I would like to thank all the team members and all the hard working doctors and professors who made this journey great
space apps it introduces problem-solvers worldwide to NASA’s free and open data. By using NASA data to solve each year’s challenges, Space Apps teams learn about NASA’s data, and share in the creation and application of the knowledge that results.
- we learned alot of things that helped us to make this project it inspires collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.
3.my team was inspired because the ocean is the main point to save more and we would like to save the ocean with our project research to have a better future .
