Space Junk

Project Overview:

This is a personal project with the goal of increasing awareness of space junk & its ongoing situation in mind.

More than 27,000 pieces of orbital debris, or “space junk,” are tracked by the Department of Defense’s global Space Surveillance Network (SSN) sensors. Much more debris -- too small to be tracked, but large enough to threaten human spaceflight and robotic missions -- exists in the near-Earth space environment. Since both the debris and spacecraft are traveling at extremely high speeds (approximately 15,700 mph in low Earth orbit), an impact of even a tiny piece of orbital debris with a spacecraft could create big problems.

The Challenge:

To make a seemingly complex & scientific topic fun & entertaining for educational sourpusses.

Unexpected Further Developments:

I Liked the outcome so much I contacted a good developer friend formally know as @thatonedeveloper to develop this project into a pixel based asteroids inspired space shooter!

Jai's Website is https://jai2514.wixsite.com/thatonedeveloper if you want to check out the development side of this project.

My contributions will be based more around the Artwork, Animation & UI of the game.
