🚀 Landsat Web Tracker

Project made by EKK Ingarden for Nasa Space Apps 2024.

Note: This project was developed as part of a hackathon. While we strived to deliver a functional and engaging application, the code quality may not meet production standards due to time constraints.

📚 Overview

The Landsat Web Tracker bridges the gap between ground-based spectral measurements and Landsat Surface Reflectance (SR) data. By providing users with an intuitive web-based interface, the application makes satellite data more accessible and actionable, fostering environmental awareness and empowering individuals to contribute toward sustainability. Our solution allows users to:

• Select a target location and time range.
• Receive notifications when Landsat satellites pass over their chosen location.
• Access and visualize Landsat data, including key environmental metrics like temperature, cloud coverage, and Earth-Sun distance.
• Generate reports with advanced metadata, band views, and reflectance analyses.

💡 Features

Landsat Route Tracking

Users can determine when Landsat 8 & 9 will pass over a specific location.

Data Visualization

Explore satellite imagery and visualize data through various bands such as:

• Temperature
• Agriculture
• Vegetation
• Moisture
• Atmospheric Penetration

Notifications

Receive email reminders when Landsat flies above selected locations.

Simplified Data Access

• Skip the complex process of searching and applying for Landsat data.
• Explore curated datasets tailored to your selected conditions.

Report Generation

Generate reports containing advanced metadata, band visualizations, and reflectance analyses.

Environmental Insights

Empower users to explore and understand environmental changes, such as vegetation health, urban expansion, and climate patterns.

🎯 Objectives

The Landsat Web Tracker aims to:

• Make high-quality satellite data easily accessible to researchers and enthusiasts.
• Support amateur and professional measurements with easy error correction and calibration.
• Promote informed discussions on environmental issues.
• Encourage interdisciplinary approaches to climate action and urban planning.

🌟 Hackathon

Challenge

As part of NASA Space Apps 2024, our team tackled the challenge: “Develop a web-based application that supports the comparison of ground-based observations with Landsat data.”

The objective was to create a solution that enables users to:

• Define a target location.
• Receive notifications when Landsat satellites are scheduled to pass over that location.
• Access and display Landsat Surface Reflectance (SR) data for the corresponding place and time.

Hackathon Experience

The hackathon was an intense, collaborative, and highly rewarding experience. Over the span of 24 hours, our team:

• Developed a functional prototype to simplify the process of comparing ground-based spectral measurements with Landsat SR data.
• Implemented key features like satellite route tracking, notifications, and data visualization.
• Met a lot of amazing people from various backgrounds, sharing ideas and learning from one another.
• Consumed 19 cups of coffee to keep the energy levels high throughout the event.
