High-Level Summary:
Who doesn’t like music while working out? Astronauts can now enjoy making music and training their most important assets, hands and fingers. It is well known that astronauts lose a lot of muscle and bone mass and have to train for hours a day just to maintain it. This device will make working out more fun and even relaxing, as you can enjoy some good music and even try to become the SpaceJammer of your space station! The SpaceJammer is an instrument disguised as a physical exercise machine. It keeps astronauts fit and challenges them mentally to stick to a rhythm and play good music. It creates a competitive and collaborative atmosphere in their space station by challenging astronauts to compete with their colleagues for the highest score or create a band together.
Team: TEAMBENDER (Douglas Nordwall and Samuel Karabetian)
High-Level Summary:
We developed an interactable solar system with 8 planets and earths moon, that are plotted based on their keplerian parameters. This was done for the “Create an Orrery Web App That Displays Near Earth Objects” challenge.
Arctic Business, as the organizer, would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants for your commitment and drive. We hope to bring the competition back again in the future.
