High-Level Project Summary
This video was made during NASA Space App Challenge 2021 in 48 hours.Challenge name: "What on Earth is Synthetic Aperture Radar?"The video contains the explanation on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). This explanation is easy for any person to be able to clearly see and understand the main plot about this technology. SAR helps scientists to better look after our planet and understand how various processes impact it, animals and people.

Detailed Project Description
The goal of this challenge is to explain what SAR is, what it does, where it is used, so that a wide range of people understand this information easily and started to care about our planet because these radars provide a lot of data about the Earth. A big plus of using these radars is that it pinpoints exactly where the problem is, which is really helpful.
I hope that people who will watch it will be encouraged by science and started to want to be from some of those scientists who developed SAR using the trick, allowing to use much shorter antenna.
All the tools and programs I have used are in resources.
The subtitles made on youtube. I think it is better since my video is in Russian and Russians don't want to see English subtitles, but anyone can enable them.
Space Agency Data
I used NASA multimedia libraries, ESA library, NISAR mission library provided by NASA. Also I explored JAXA and Canadian space agency missions on their websites.

Hackathon Journey
I want to thank myself, since I was the only member of my team. I liked this experience, however, I am bit angry on DaVinci Resolve which have been always crashing and sometimes didn't give me even to change any color.
What inspired me on this challenge is that I have never participated NASA Challenges and wanted to try. This challenge is about video editing, the thing I know. Of course, if I would have team I would took more severe challenge.
My approach to develop the project was pretty easy. Here it is:
- Explore the resources
- Write a script
- Record an audio
- Find music (I think the music is not so for this video, but I had small amount of time)
- Download all the materials I need
- Edit the video
- Export the video
