High-Level Project Summary
This project aims to tackle the common misconceptions about SAR as well as spread awareness about it's advantages over other traditional methods used in mapping. The video covers everything needed for one to understand what is SAR and how it 's helpful to space agencies and general public alike with an emphasis on how it will help us in collecting data, analysing it and making it useful for us. SARs is useful for many things ranging from mapping areas to preventing destruction and casualties from natural disasters by analysing data and providing insight on potential disaster that might be headed our way. That's why it is important that the people know about it and it's usefulness.

Detailed Project Description
Our project explains the SAR technology in a comprehensible manner to the general public and increase the awareness about its impact on our society.
This project is beneficial because it demonstrates the information to the non experts in a pictorial and illustrative manner so that it is easily graspable to the audience. It also provides interesting facts about the SAR if audience is keen to know more about it.
We hope to that the SAR reaches its full potential and that many people can understand what SAR data is, and how it can impact them and their communities. We want to create the awareness of SAR and hope its data is accessible to the public and the public also gains the knowledge on how SAR assists the mankind.
We have used the FilmForth software to make and edit our video.

We used to collect information about SAR and make our presentation based on it. It has inspired us to spread the information about SAR and how its helpful to the public .
Hackathon Journey
My Space Apps experience has been wonderful and very informative. It goes without saying that we have learnt a lot about SAR and how it is a boon for mankind . We were not much familiar about the concept of SAR but we very keen to go deep into this topic and we thought it would be highly informative to know about SAR as well.
Our way of approach was pretty simple- it should be straightforward and easy for the non experts to understand and how SAR gives a positive impact for our community.
My team was very cooperative from the beginning until the end. We didn't have much of setbacks as we thing that communication is the most important quality as a team.
We would like to thank NASA for holding such a immensely beneficial challenge with various projects as it's a benefit for the public to create awareness for them about technologies that help us sustain .
