The Met Office in Exeter is very proud to be hosting an event for the NASA International Space Apps Challenge for the fourth year in a row.
In the UK, Met Office scientists, programmers and engineers will be joined in Exeter by science and technology enthusiasts and professionals from around the UK. Video links and social media will enable the teams to connect to other teams across the UK and the globe.
We'd like to say a big thank you to our local sponsors, RS Components and Cray.
For more information about our event take a look at our webpages.

The following projects were worked on at Exeter:
-
Neuromorphic Asteroid Analysis
Project Members from this locationIntroduction
Currently there are many asteroids for which light curves exist but which classifications do not, ideally spectroscopic investigations would be performed on each of these bodies in turn to define their spectroscopic class. This project aims to link the photometric propert... Visit Project

Pyxis
Project Members from this locationAim of the project is to create a fun game to:
Educate Engage Collaborate
Multiple player, level based game to reconstruct the constellations. Combined mobile phone and computer game to help people learn about the constellations in the night sky.

Space Suit-case - Don't forget your toothbrush
Project Members from this locationWe aim to produce a range of solutions that explore the problem of how it might be possible to personalise the experience of space travel through the clothes and accessories that an astronaut takes into space with them. The project aims to produce a flatpack suitcase of clothing and personal e... Visit Project

At.Sat App
Project Members from this locationThe project aims to develop a web based app which uses inertial and GPS data from a cell phone, with the telemetry data from the ISS in order to give the opportunity to the user to localise the ISS in the sky. The web based application could be launched from any web browser, enabling any cell ... Visit Project

Lassie
Project Members from this locationWe establish a set of rules for LASSIE compliant autonomous devices and with a prototype built from Lego EV3 and cunning software attempt to create the required capabilities and behaviours to recognise communication failures, assess damage and where needed fetch appropriate assistance.

Cloud Mining challenge
Project Members from this locationWe are a team which is a mix of Met Office staff and other Space Apps regulars. We have come up with our own challenge which is relevant to the Space Apps Earth theme. We are interested in applying novel multivariate analysis techniques to analyse climate models and observed data including c... Visit Project

FabLab Devon
Project Members from this locationWe aimed to develop a way to 3D print items such as syringes in space. These syringes needed to be accurate, simple and reliable. Printing allows us to create custom volume syringes with multiple uses using both rigid and flexible materials.
