High-Level Project Summary
Introduction Several years ago, NASA built the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). It is a radar that gives three-dimensional images, It helps detect changes that may occur to the Earth no matter how small it may be, The weather does not affect the image, and It works by sending waves of microwaves on the Earth's surface, receiving them and recording their reflections (the more signals are recorded, the more accurate the image is). So the information we get from SAR has a small error, and it's obvious. That means we can get a lot of information from SAR, So in this challenge, we seek to make a simple video that shows how the radar works and how to make use of the information recorded from

Detailed Project Description
Our project is a short video illustration of SAR.
Our goal is to explain to everyone the importance of radar and how it works and that by using it we can reduce the damage caused by geographical changes and that's after studying the image from the radar and studying the changes on the ground
And we've been using software while filming, adjusting and creating videos
such as : Vivavideo,animaker and brand crowd logo maker.
Space Agency Data
NASA has provided a lot of resources and information to help us search.
We used many of the articles that NASA provided to get information about SAR, and we took radar images from those articles and we've also seen a lot of videos about the radar from NASA's YouTube channel. Know the way that we can display information.
We also searched for the definition of an earthquake and all the details of an Cairo earthquake with Google
Hackathon Journey
That experience has been great and very useful, and I've learned a lot of experience in counting areas.
We chose this challenge because we found it in real pleasure and inspiration.
The challenge also involves several areas we are familiar with, such as voice over and video editing . We used Arabic because it's the common language in Egypt, but the video script can be modified and translated for any other language so we're trying to translate it into languages
And certainly, there are many problems
First, we couldn't agree on a fixed video script, but there was more than one that we liked
So we combined them, and then we had a problem with time, and we distributed tasks to us
Maryam, Atheer and Zahiah did the video and the photo collection. Ahmed and Mustafa did a nice job of adjusting the video and installing the audio on the video
