High-Level Project Summary
What is it?- An Augmented Reality application that shows the position of space trash and its trajectory in real-time.How does it "solve" the challenge?- Any robot or device that uses a camera to detect and capture space debris will be capable of pinpointing the debris and capture it.Why is it important?It can be used for real missions to capture space debris. Also, it can be used by civilians to understand the importance of a clear cosmic neighborhood.

Detailed Project Description
Floater is an Augmented Reality application that shows the position of space trash and its trajectory in real-time. Any robot or device that uses a camera to detect and capture space debris will be capable of pinpointing the debris and capture it. NIt can be used for real missions to capture space debris. Also, it can be used by civilians to understand the importance of a clear cosmic neighborhood.
Space Agency Data
NASA TLE API is used for encoding a list of orbital elements of an Earth-orbiting object for a given point in time.
Hackathon Journey
Learned a lot, this is my first hackathon. I read articles, got myself into understanding the solution that actually helps, and pushed myself into not much-known fields to me. Although next time I will be prepared with a team as there is actually a lot of work and brainstorming that is required. I am glad I got to know about it from JAXA.
