High-Level Project Summary
Our project’s main objective is determining and detecting space debris location relatively to earth. Clearing up most of space derbis is crucial to eliminate any obstruction that might occur during space mission or launching rokects. Moreover, detecting and tracking the debris helps to avoid any chances of collisions and inturptions with the satellites trajectories.

Detailed Project Description
Space trash is a serious problem that has huge negative effects. For instance, it can interrupt space missions, can cause collisions, and decrease the chance for us to study and explore the space.
So we decided to develop a junk detector, that is able to detect the position of space trash on real time.
These are the proposed steps:
1. Collect image from space stations
2. Analyze the image by applying object detection algorithm
3. Detect objects and identify their locations
The achieved results are:
1. Detected multiple junk objects in image
2. Objects boundaries
3. Objects x-y coordinates
The benefits of our project:
1. solving many problems
2. saving time
3. saving effort
4. to be source of data and statistics
5. To be a solution with lowest cost possible
The project can be further improved.

We created a blog that contains some interesting information about Space Junk such as, some spacecraft and vehicles the went off the track because of the junk.

Hackathon Journey
We choose this challenge because it is a dangerous problem. It threatens the astronauts lives and spacecrafts and it has a lot of negative effects because of the junk orbiting earth. A small piece can cause a disaster.
It was such a great experience. Working with a great team is the reason behind every great achievement.
