High-Level Project Summary
The space debris issue is more pressing than ever before. Today we have nearly 2000 live satellites in space and more than 3000 failed ones, and this number going to increase with time and in coming years. The aim of this project is to design a map to detect and track space trash. By using an open-source map and connected with the features by using a real-time prototype interface, that will provide an Information box about the debris with all of the necessary parameters and its geographical position in current time, additionally, it will save this data and create a timeline to obtain the movements of the debris which could help to predict the debris locations for a future timeline so the

Detailed Project Description
We used an open-source map and add on it the features we want to include such as when you click on debris object a pop-up Information box will show up every parameter and its geographical position in current time to obtain the movements of the debris which could help to predict the debris locations for a future timeline so the user could see the orbital environment at a different point in time. Wix to design interfaces has been used to simulate the approximate implementation of the idea
Developmental and future ideas:
- Clarification of live data and old data
Determining the waste specifications more precisely as chemical or physical properties such as type, size, mass, or anything related to the particle
-As the database grows with time it will be easier to track debris and prevent its collisions
- Suggesting the safest way to dispose of waste and not only identifying it (depends on the type of waste)

Hackathon Journey
We attended many development workshops through the Space Authority, in addition to conducting dialogue sessions with a selection of supervisors from various fields.
We are interested in the field of space and we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and try this challenge, even if our abilities were limited as students, this did not prevent us from progressing, trying, and accepting the challenge.
