Exospace

Inspiration

We were inspired by the the idea of space and space exploration.

What it does

Based on a users input, the program outputs the exoplanet's distance from Earth, mass, orbital period, and type.

How we built it

Through the use of C++ and if-else statements, we simply outputted the exoplanet's data from declared variables.

Challenges we ran into

Our first intent of the project was to use NASA's Exoplanet API, however we couldn't figure out how to actually implement it so instead we resorted to simply showing the intent of the project without the use of an API

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We tackled a challenge we wouldn't have had a chance to do.

What we learned

We learned a lot about API's and how every API is different. Although we couldn't implement one today, we are very close to doing so.

What's next for Exospace

Use NASA's Exoplanet API to hopefully allow a user to enter any exoplanet they want and show any data they want. We also hope to include a front end for the project so it can be accessible to all users.
