Moonlight - Moon Data Journal

High-Level Project Summary

This collaborative platform encourages the data obtained in each mission to be transformed into scientific knowledge in a broad, fast and deep way. And in turn, it will promote the rest of the lunar missions and manned planetary explorations as well as scientific collaboration in the study and knowledge of the universe.With this solution we solve the current lack of data visualization while it is recorded and we provide a design system that gives order and contextualizes the data to generate a collaborative environment for the use of information for the generation of knowledge in real time.

Detailed Project Description

Monnlight. As an analogy of a flash reaching the earth in an instant.

(We made use of the material design elements for the logo and interface design)


It consists of a collaborative platform to:


  1. Record data from missions to the moon with certain information standards to be able to catalog these entries and offer easier information management when analyzing data.
  2. View and analyze the records of various team members. To compare the information of different topics, dates, etc.



🌕 Journal Main screen.


Main screen where entries are recorded with a series of standardized data. You can also view the data that is being recorded and manage the information for analysis.

1. Standardize the entries with elements necessary for the reading and analysis of the data.

2. Helps to correctly identify and contextualize documented information.

3. Two modes available according to the action that the user will perform: Journal and Analysis table.

4. Navigation of information between dates.

5. Possibility of activating and deactivating inputs.

6. If the entry has a lot of content, the complete information can be accessed by clicking and it is displayed isolated from the rest (8)

7. Different actions on published entries to edit or analyze. When activating the "Analysis table" option, it adds the entry to the "analysis table" (9).


🌕 Expanded entry card.


In this section complete cards are displayed, they work especially if the card contains a lot of information and several attachments.


8.Display mode of entries with a lot of information.



🌕 Analysis table screen.


On this screen you can view the cards selected for analysis, they already contain their date, time, tag, attachments, and owner of the information. In this section you can manipulate the cards to accommodate the cards by size or eliminate them from the analysis table, depending on the user's needs.


9. “Analysis table” where you can compare data from different inputs

10. The user is able to adjust the size and order of the entries to review the information according to their needs.





The future of moonlight


  • For the improvement of the tool we consider pertinent an evaluation with the users in their specific context of use to be able to finish meeting their needs, solve their problems and respond to their expectations in a more accurate way.
  • For the evolution of the tool, we envision the power to send information to astronauts on mission through Augmented Reality functionalities and real-time data transmission.
  • As well as being able to carry out their own registrations.




  • 5. The helmet indicates through augmented reality that what the astronaut sees is being recorded.
  • 6. The helmet indicates that it is listening to the astronaut's voice and generating a new entry.
  • 7. The helmet indicates the time stamp with which the entry will be registered.





  • Role change to astronaut
  • The entry description indicates that it is being written from the helmet.
  • The new entry bar indicates that you are receiving a video recording from the helmet.
  • The astronaut user's entry, with a video attachment, indicates that it was written and sent from the helmet.

Space Agency Data

Information contextualization according to needs.


We seek information to better understand the type of information that is recorded and analyzed in each mission, this in order to know its characteristics and to better understand the needs to be solved with the proposal.

Moodboard. Visual design inspiration.


We looked for a series of images to inspire us in the visual design of the tool, both in the galleries of NASA and artistic interpretations of other people based on the work of NASA itself.


Hackathon Journey


🌙 INSPIRATION



Immersion in the context of the current situation, requirements and desirability of the platform.


Before starting to generate a proposal, we dedicate ourselves to understanding the context of the mission data, the current problems in the registry, the needs of the users when registering and collaborating in real time. We also had the opportunity to learn about some topics of desirability of the tool in chat conversations with experts.

Information analysis to establish the problems to be solved, the requirements and the tasks.


Once reading all this information we process it to be clear about these requirements, problems, needs and desirability. This allowed us to generate conversations on how to consider all this when designing a comprehensive, intuitive, functional and grounded solution to current technology, thinking about development viability.

Challenge statement


We synthesized all that analysis in a challenge statement so as not to lose the focus that we all had to follow during the project. In this way we could always be clear about our objective.




🌟 IDEATION


Sketching of the solution according to requirements.


We had a series of conversations to get the requirements down to proposals. We sketch from the sale to notebooks before making a digital design of the interface as a means of conversation and teamwork.



🚀 IMPLEMENTATION


We work on the digital interface, increasingly polishing the proposals according to the information and analysis. We relied heavily on the resources of the challenge, the information in the chats with experts and some other sources that spoke of the work of NASA as the context of the Apollo mission.
