After reading all the instructions for our challenge and discussing possible ideas for developing a solution to the problem, we divided our project into two parts: creating general documentation and creating a website on which we will display all our research and strategy description. Since our project has two products, it will be convenient for readers to choose the type of viewing our solution: documentation in the form of a scientific dissertation, or a website where they can study the necessary material. It turns out that if a user visits the site, he can see all the NASA missions, their descriptions, pictures and illustrations. Also, on the website you can see a list of NASA satellite data collected, that is, a whole sheet of what NASA satellites measure. Since our project is aimed at the concepts of scientific use and education, we also did not forget to add all the studied resources and links to the studied material in order to maintain the accuracy of the information. The main advantage of our website is its ease of use, as we took into account the problem that it can be difficult for readers and researchers of space organizations to get this or that information for their projects. Thus, the key audience of our website are researchers, students, geographers, geologists, biologists, ecologists, etc. We hope that in the future it will be possible to finalize the authorization system in the project so that the creators of scientific articles from the NASA organization can themselves add new missions, collected data, resources, sources, etc., thus expanding the information flow of the website. In order to achieve our goal and develop our products, we used the usual Word Documents, official data sources from NASA specified in our challenge, as well as web programming skills using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, React and C# technologies for the backend of the website.

The main source of information and data collection was NASA missions, for which we were able to find information about satellite data. For example, when researching the planned PACE mission, by visiting the official web page of the project, we were able to find information about the data that will be collected by the technologies embedded in thesatellite. Unfortunately, due to limited time, we were unable to find open databases on the NASA APIthat would help us demonstrate examples of the data being collected, so in the future, when developing the backend of the website and finalizing the documentation, we plan to enroll in Early Adopters of new missions so that any researcher can see what type of data is collected from certain satellite devices.All the resources and sources on which we conducted our research are indicated in the bibliography of the documentation.

As high school students, it was very interesting for all of us to explore and study the use of space and satellite datato analyze and solve problems on our planet, so we chose this particular challenge, which will allow us to test our critical thinking, research and time management skills. The team has several developers, enthusiasts in the field of biochemistry, ecology and geography, a researcher and a designer who helped make the site visually readable. Since we are students of the IB school, it was not difficult for us to divide the tasks and approach the project in full focus, so we believe that we have managed all the tasks and were able to provide a solution to the problem. We would like to thank NASA and the developers of their websites for the availability of information and a detailed description of each mission, problem and solutions. We also express our great gratitude to the hackathon organizer for such a research atmosphere, which caused us not only a desire for hard work, but also a spirit of rivalry with other teams. It will be nice to listen and look at the decisions of other teams and evaluate their approach to the tasks set.
