Nasa Influence on Open Data Projects
summary
Overview of concrete outcomes not fluff: a description of NASA Space Apps Challenge numbers (25,000 participants, 25 solutions in 2017, 150,000+ engaged over five years), the actual programs and portals used (earthdata, data.nasa, NASAnet), and a winning team that builds whethertolaunch.com using Firebase plus a launch library API and external weather APIs. The team reports a working prototype that predicts go/no‑go risk by mapping NASA launch criteria to forecasted winds and lightning and validates against recent delays.
