    Imagery, Platform


    Background

    Science archives give access to a wide range of products. An important part of these products is made of images obtained from multiple processing algorithms and sensors. Due to its scientific background, the access interface to these products/images offers many customization options. General public are many times discouraged by the apparent complexity of the web interface.

    A very simple interface would contribute to improve awareness and accessibility for the general public.

    Challenge

    Special moments in life -- the birth of a baby, university graduation, weddings -- deserve very special and original congratulation messages. What could be more special than your congratulation message sent along with the image of a far, far away beautiful galaxy at the moment this event took place? How about an image of our star, the Sun, taken right at the time your best friend’s first baby was born? Even better, how about a collage with multiple images combined into a unique postcard?

    This challenge aims at developing an application to send congratulation messages personalized for the recipient with images from space sensors stored in the science archives. A major part of this challenge is about understanding how to access science archives and composition of products based on specific querying mechanisms.

    Considerations

    • Your solution can allow users to choose among different subjects/types for the virtual postcard (sun, galaxies, planets, collages …)
    • Your solution can allow users to specify date and time to be used for the creation of the virtual postcard
    • Your solution can allow users to add a message to the virtual postcard
    • Your solution can allow users to select a sharing mechanism and a contact to send the virtual postcard
