  • Hashtag= #PDS Background

    In 2012, the PDS Challenge created some of the most compelling solutions from the global event, including the widely acclaimed vicar2png software that revitalized imagery from previous NASA missions.

    The Planetary Data System is an incredible resource to scientists around the world - but much of the data inside of it is difficult to use for non-subject matter experts. As part of this challenge, we ask you - the citizen scientists and developers of the world - what do you want out of the PDS?

    Functional Description

    The PDS contains data from dozens of NASA missions. Can you find interesting data sets and build tools to display, visualize, or translate them in new ways? Can the data be re-presented through flexible APIs, fed on to social networks, or turned in to interactive experiences?

    Resources
    The PDS contains a number of search mechanisms and documentation sites. The Tools & Documentation site does an excellent job of describing the various methods of accessing the PDS.

    Datasets

    • PDS

    • UnderstandingTheGap

      200 years later, we live in other planets. Still, there is lot of things which you access the earth. For example, you can look at the web page, you can take the communication, or business with someone on the earth. On the inter-planet communication, gap occurs naturally. In our project, we ma...

    • Planetary Photojournal

      We hope to create an iPhone application that helps foster the wonderment and enjoyment that we used to feel as young boys looking at the stars. At least in this part of the world, viewing constellations, planets and tracking the sky isn't that much of a thing to do when young. We hope to change t... Visit Project

    • PDS analysis framework

      The initial aim is to develop a framework that allows for storing the original formats into a data structure that allows searching, analysis and further aggregation of data. We will design PoC tools to visualize data and convert it to information. From here, we will see if we can find inter... Visit Project

    • MobilePDS

      PDS is voluminous and quite difficult to understand for non subject experts. This project aims to address that problem by creating a mobile application for PDS. The application would have a simpler and more concise UI / UX tailored for mobile devices (phones or tablets). It would still connect... Visit Project
