A SPACE EXPLORATION COLLABORATION
PROJECT NEBULA A SPACE EXPLORATION COLLABORATION
2
What is Project Nebula? Space Exploration Collaboration Unmanned
3
AIM Amateur Accessible Affordable
4
Low budget space exploration?
I Googled low budget space exploration and this was the first search result: “India’s Mars mission has a price tag of about $74 million, a fraction of the $671 million cost of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s latest Mars program.”
5
Who can participate? Anyone! Engineers Physicists Team leaders
Space enthusiasts
6
WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL? Our first goal is to record data from high altitude balloons in real time
7
WHY REAL TIME? Data recovery issues Time constraints Loss of revenue
8
CAN I RECORD IN REAL TIME?
Recording in real time is both expensive and usually requires high tech equipment So we’re going to find some equipment to use for free
9
PROPOSAL Project Nebula has already submitted a proposal to the National Space Centre for permission to use their 32m C-Band antenna
10
WHERE IS THE NATIONAL SPACE CENTRE
The National Space Centre or the Elfordstown Earthstation is located in Midleton Co. Cork
11
DATA Data we hope to gather will include images, trajectory, weather anomalies, communications, and potentially astronomical observations such as radio, optical and other
12
PROCESSING DATA We will create bespoke algorithms collaboratively and process the data in bite sized chunks
13
OPEN SOURCE The data will be made available to anyone who wants to launch their own balloons
14
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram…etc.
SOCIAL MEDIA We hope to organise the project and promote our efforts through social media Facebook, Twitter, Instagram…etc.
15
The project data will be uploaded here for processing
ZOONIVERSE All our space explorers can get involved in the digital aspect of the project through Zooniverse. The project data will be uploaded here for processing
16
We will researching grants for our exploration efforts
BUDGET We will researching grants for our exploration efforts
17
MATERIALS Budget accessible materials will be used including Arduino and Raspberry Pi
18
Stargazing live A Stargazing live collaboration which is televised.
19
Think different I want to bring people together who have a similar dream and help them achieve it
