Mission Path

Mission Path!

Inspiration

The inspiration of this project was space mission history. Many people are not aware past space missions NASA has completed. This project is a fun, interactive way to learn about some of NASA's space missions

What it does

This project is a web page that will allow users to select a space mission of their choice, and display a animation of that space mission path, the path may be from the Earth to the Moon and so forth. Along with the animation, some details and fun facts about the mission will be displayed below the animation on the web page

How we built it

We used Java Spark to create a locally hosted domain. This Java code will act as the back-end of our project, this is the file that will hold the details and fun facts of each space mission. We also use HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to create the animations, and format the web page.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we ran into while creating this project was the in depth JavaScript functions that were necessary for our code. We also ran into a issue with the logo's of the planets and spacecraft. We wanted to created the images ourselves, but creating the images and implementing them proved more difficult than we imagined.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am really proud of how we were able to use a language we have never really used (JavaScript) and create custom animations for our project

What we learned

We learned that through Java Spark we were able to locally host a domain. We also learned that you can create animation through JavaScript. We learned that organization and documentations matter in group projects to remain focused.
