Mars Weather Dashboard

Welcome to the Mars Weather Dashboard! This project aims to visualize and analyze weather data from NASA’s InSight Mars lander, providing insights into Martian weather patterns and the challenges of data collection on Mars.

Project Idea

The Mars Weather Dashboard is a web application designed to display real-time and historical weather data from the InSight Mars lander. It allows users to:

View current and historical weather data on Mars.
Compare weather conditions over the last 7 Martian days (Sols).
Visualize data trends and analyze weather patterns.
Receive alerts for significant weather events such as dust storms or extreme temperature changes.

Reason & Importance

Understanding Martian weather is crucial for planning future missions to Mars and for managing resources effectively on the Red Planet. This project helps to:

Provide a user-friendly interface for exploring complex Martian weather data.
Aid researchers and enthusiasts in understanding how weather conditions impact the InSight lander and its operations.
Educate the public about Mars' climate and the challenges faced by scientific missions on the planet.

How It Will Help Us

This dashboard will:

Offer real-time insights into Martian weather conditions, helping researchers make informed decisions about mission planning.
Enhance public interest and awareness of space exploration and planetary science.
Serve as a prototype for future space weather applications and educational tools.
