What on Earth is Synthetic Aperture Technology ?

High-Level Project Summary

Solution to the challenge :We have created a video which explains the concept of SAR .This video has practical tutorial of SAR data analysis in using Qgis.This video will hep people to understand about SAR technology.The language of video is local language so they can understand smoothly. It has English subtitles so that any one from any region can read it and understand the video .The practical tutorial helps the public to collect and analyse the SAR data available openly and shared by space agencies . This can teach the public to use this data for various applications.From the feedback of public, we came to know our solution is successful and hence it is important.

Detailed Project Description

Our video introduces the SAR technology in simple language to the viewers (public). It is in local language and hence people in my area can understand it easily . It has English subtitles so that experts can also understand it very well.

It has many benefits which involves explaining and increasing awareness about SAR and its data analysis and its applications.

The practical / tutorial which is in our video helps the viewer to learn SAR data analysis.

It shows how water bodies extracted from SAR data using Qgis.


We are hoping to achieve increase in awareness about SAR technology and SAR data analysis with various tools .

We are hoping to achieve increase in people use to data provided by space agencies.


The tools Veed.io online video editing website we have used for making it .

European Space Agency data of Sentinel - I has used for the same .


Overall, we have combined the skills of editing, knowledge , research etc for making this solution unique.

Space Agency Data

European Space Agency data - Sentinel - I provided in the resources section of Challenge at NASA portal.

I have searched on ISRO and NASA website for NISAR . and we have researched about SAR from that source only .

Hackathon Journey

Our Experience was amazing . We worked together and researched a lot and finally we are satisfied that we have completed our task.


We learnt a lot in Space Apps challenge . We learnt how to analyze data obtained from SAR and its applications for different purposes. We have learnt how to increase awareness about scientific topic and present it unique way.


We have chosen this challenge because when we asked our friends, neighbours, public we came to know that people are not aware of SAR technology and SAR data analysis using various tools. Hence this motivated us to choose this challenge and worked on it to solve this challenge .


Our approach includes research about SAR , then its data analysis and find out about various tools used in data analysis.

After collection of all resources we made a video which can take care of introducing SAR and its data analysis to public in simple way.

We would like to thank you Space Apps for organizing this. We would like to thank ISRO and NASA for their valuable resources .
