High-Level Project Summary
Rubbollo is a website solution designed to visualize all debris locations in order to clean them up. This problem is crucial because it exemplifies just how much space trash is circling our outer space. All debris around the earth is a big issue for all the rockets and the space stations which they are orbiting, not just the present ones that are in outer space, but for the future ones. So it is going to be a big risk for every launch the nations will have to colonize other planets, just like Mars.

Detailed Project Description
This website is designed as a solution to identify all the debris which are orbiting in the outerspace.
We got connected to world wind to bring back the earth globe and visualize the different objects.
Rubbollo is a website with a 3-D globe embedded inside, containing the coordinates of the debris. We hope to provide the user a deeper understanding of space debris. We utilized Replit as our online IDE, for ease of sharing code, and used HTML, CSS, and JS as our programming languages to code Rubbollo’s website.
Space Agency Data
We consulted space track and celestrack data.
Hackathon Journey
This was an outstanding experience, full of knowledge and emotion. The experience to have access to Nasa data sets was incredible.
Also to manage the complexity of the task, give us a good experience, how we can locate debris in the outer space, and bring them to this website.
We go with a lot of learning each of the team members!!!
Also the Space Apps experience is certainly one of a kind. We learned so much about our challenge, which is the problem of space junk and the difficulty of tracking it down for possible removal. The difficulty of tracking not just one object, but all the Debris that are circling the earth. Also, the coordinates from the debris orbits were different from the earth’s surface, and they were changing every second.
This challenge was international and we spanned two different countries. Language was a barrier we haven’t quite encountered before. At first, we wanted to use a 3-D globe, but we weren’t sure how to use NASA Worldwind, so we resolved it by changing it into a 2-D map. In a change of events, we were able to find the documentation for NASA Worldwind and were able to change it to a 3D model.
