Project Sol is an interactive, GUI Based Web-Application with AI backend, use of API in database and includes representation of data as received from SDO and other NASA archives using open APIs, in an immersive view.We have even included a simulation and a 3D game. It includes customized search bar, that uses Binary Search AI, that searches all NASA archives to show the result.This project is by far the best solution we could make as the importance of Project Sol, lies in the fact that it is a simple webapp that can show Integrated Space Weather, other SDO API data and videos and updates from SDO in one click. It serves as the google for entire Heliophysics department in entirety.
What Our project does:
1Represent Solar Data as received from open NASA APIs
2.Show search results totally based on NASA sources using Binary Search
3.Teach about past missions and current mission of NASA regarding Sun
4.Show the most recent tweet every time NASA Heliophysics department makes an update
5.Show the most recent video from SDO
6.Show the most recent blog from Heliophysics Department
7.Has engaging 3d simulation and games about Sun and it's Swarzschild Radius, Size, Gravitation, and effect of density .

It works on a hierarchical database model, and is fully immersive.
It has the benefit that Project Sol is one package for looking into history, present and updates of The NASA Sun and Heliophysics Department, as it includes almost all data in spoonfed form and through AI Search, any data can be received being within the periphery of this application.
We have used node.js packaging to build our webapp and it runs on 'Electron' environment. The coding language we have used is one of the most versatile one, javascript. The APIs that are used are all from NASA Open API sources. And all the images, 3d models, vimations have been used all from NASA sources.
Software used:
Virtual Studio Code
Git Desktop
Languages:
Javascript
Documenting languages



We have completely relied on NASA Open API sources and hardcoding distinctively in order to represent data.
We have used all images, 3d models and videos relying on NASA database and links.
Any journey is fun, when the voyager thinks about the path and not the destination.
Same happened with our spaceapps journey. All of us started it with a group discussion and started thinking of immersive and fun ways, we could solve the challenge of Unlocking The Secrets of Sun.
By far, all our team members feel satisfied with the result project we have come to. Surely, there are updates and improvements we must do more if needed. But in matter of relatively short time, building this gigantic project with heavy data and huge scale was quite painstaking for us too.
The source of our inspiration was the media and digital culture we involve in, which gave this project the shape it has taken
Our approach surely was a bruteforce approach, that is the trial and error approach. Out of 10 things tried, 3 or 4 workout and others needed to be eliminated like solar and lunar eclipse simulations because of their irrelevancy towards the project.
To make our teamwork going, in times when some of us are far away from each other, others have their online classes and others going for physical classes, we used digital media, messenger group and zoom calls to keep the work going

The first draft never becomes the final project.
We surely faced challenges in fetching API in certain times, but we solved that to representing demonstration by hardcoding in those times.
Lastly, we would like to thank NASO Nepal for providing us this stage and informing about the challenge

Many space missions support our understanding of the Sun -- our nearest star -- and its significant impact on our lives here on Earth and on our plans to send human and robotic explorers to the Moon, Mars, and beyond! Your challenge is to develop a method to improve public awareness and understanding of these spacecraft and how the valuable data they provide impacts the way we live, work, and play.
