High-Level Project Summary
-What has been developed? How to introduce the SAR Synthetic Aperture Radar by telling a short fictional and interesting story that contains all the information enough to explain the SAR in a fun and interesting way. -How does this project solve the challenge for which it was submitted? When purely scientific information is presented in an attractive and smooth manner, we will be able to attract the attention of all individuals, whether they are specialists in the scientific field or not. -what do you think your solution is important? Because the synthetic aperture radar is a very important and useful radar among all the radars in existence today, it is simply capable of everything

Detailed Project Description
-what's it doing?
create 2D images or 3D reconstructions of objects, such as landscapes.
-What does it do ?
SAR uses the motion of the radar antenna over a target region to provide finer spatial resolution than conventional stationary beam-scanning radars.
-What are its benefits?
24/7 reliable monitoring Precise, high-resolution imagery Imagery on-demand
Accurate elevation models
Reliable global change monitoring in 3D
SAR constellations are key to enhancing Earth observation.
-What is the added value provided by the project?
an active remote sensing system, which means it provides its own energy source to illuminate the imaging area. A radar imaging system has three main functions: It transmits the microwave signal toward the scene, receives a portion of that transmitted energy as backscatter from the scene, and then observes the strength and time delay of the returned signal.
-What do you hope to achieve?
To reach as many people as possible know what SAR is.
-What are the tools, programs or devices that were used to develop the project?
Canva, Microsoft Edge, Adobe illustrator and Procreate.
-How can he grow and expand as a business?
A simplified explanation that educates the specialist in this science or anyone in SAR.
Space Agency Data
The resources that NASA gave us were very helpful and some inspired me to write some ideas. For example, in the YouTube video (SAR for forest structure) that NASA put as a source, I was very inspired to putt characters that explain what radar is and how it works. Also in another source like (what is SAR) it was an article that helped me understood the radar in a few minutes. When I finished with the great NASA resources, I didn't just stop here, I used other sources for more, such as Lockheed martiy, and they were enough to help.
Hackathon Journey
My hackathon experience was the best experience I've ever had. I entered my favorite world and my place. And I know it was only a few days, but I learned a lot of interesting information and experiences.
My amazing team and I chose the SAR Challenge because of the greatness of this invention. What was required of us in this challenge is to simplify the way radar works and to attract the attention of all listeners, whether they are specialists in the scientific field or not, so we decided to use the short story system and between its events, the radar is explained with all accuracy.
In every challenge a person faces there must be difficulties and obstacles, and this is what happened with me and my team. But thanks to our cooperation and understanding of each other and the suggestion of quick solutions to the problems, we were able to overcome all the problems. And if I want to thank someone? honestly it will be to my flexible and understanding team. Thank you, Athena. You were the best.
