Power Poiunt Presentation (draft)

Movie Script prepared (but too long for 30 seconds)

• We are virtual UNICORNS team on NASA Space Apps Challenge
• We followed engineering guidelines to have a proper project for the challenge.
• We found the idea, wrote requirements for our project and started designing while developing all parts in parallel to fit in 1 day long challenge.
• Here is our team members for the project "a Marketplace For Space Travelers"
• Our goal was to prepare a web page to inform users about upcoming launches, but we did more and more
• There are and will be many resources on the web including NASA databases that we use with appropriate APIs
• Not only the curious people who are willing to access and read or watch the past, current or upcoming launches
• We have a space for those who are willing to find a launch supplier for their payloads or cargo
• These people will be looking for a spaceflight suitable for their payload and also within their budget.
• On the other hand the spaceflight supliers who are looking for a new cargo for their free space in the rocket will use our system to find new partners with suitable payloads. This way all the costs for a spaceflight will be optimized for everybody.
• Of course the page will give detailed information about the launch site for the visitors. Accommodation, car rentals, restaurants, and for those who want to keep the records of the flight or stream the videos online can hire photographers here.
• Maybe the deep space experiment organizations may use our system for finding proper resources for them.
• Why not to become a ticket office of the future,
• for those who want to go to space, when it becomes available for every human being within proper budget.
• We named the meeting point "a Marketplace For Space Travelers" and implemented all the details for you. The meeting point of tomorrow, developed today.
• You can advertise your launch here with all the information you would like to share with the public and interested parties.
• You can search all possible launches for your payload which are suitable for your project schedule and also your budget.
• You can catch a last minute flight maybe.
• You can compare possibilities that suit to your needs.
• You can check the statistics of launches, success/fail rates, rescheduling rates, and many properties with just one click.
• You can check the site on map, you can rent a car, you can find a hotel nearby. Hire someone to take a shot of you behind the rocket scene.
• "welcome to the gate for future of travels"

Software development started both frontend and backend

• upcoming launches
• launch details
• compare-launches

finished

Data have been taken from open resources such as https://launchlibrary.net . As soon as there is no information about free space sales, we got it from out heads :) . We believe, that in the future there will be service on a market.

Github PR containing data about launches

A brief architecture sketch is discussed using google draw....

a github page created for software and documentation

Discussed and decided tools that might be needed during team collaboration with members in different countries.

1) Online collaboration environment other than Nasa Space Apps Challenge Project Page which is very limited

(e.g.: online wiki, Slack, Asana, Podio, Ryver, Tello, etc.... at least GOOGLE Drive folder)

Google Drive Decided

Note: Please propose one which you're familiar with)

2) Video Editing software and a team member capcable of preparing the team movie

3) A better chat environment for inter-office communciations with video confrence capability (e.g.: GoogleTalk, Skype)

4) .....
