Asteready

Inspiration

I was inspired by the SBU Hacks space theme and found an API from NASA that has data on asteroids approaching Earth.

What it does

Asteready is supposed to list the names of all the asteroids approaching Earth within the next seven days. However, I ran out of time and this part is not completed.

How we built it

I used Flutter to build the app and an HTTP GET request to retrieve the data from the API. The API is called NeoWs (Near Earth Object Web Service).

Challenges we ran into

I had limited time to work on the project due to other responsibilities. I was also having trouble displaying the information I wanted to display from the API.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud of the progress I made considering the time limit and the fact that I worked by myself.

What we learned

I learned how to use HTTP requests in Flutter.

What's next for Asteready

I would like to complete my original idea for the project. Then I would like to have Asteready notify the user when an asteroid is approaching their specific location.
