Study of neutron flows from the sun and their absorbing from close passing asteroids
Project Members from this locationDue to the fact that neutrons do not live long, they do not reach the Earth. However, their time of lifespan depends on various factors such as speed and magnetic field. If they reach Earth different radioactive deposits can be activated imperceptibly.

Gravity
Project Members from this locationThis project aims to create online map of the gravity of a given position on a map. The input can be either inputted in numeric format as longitude and latitude or chosen from a pin on a map. The output will be in numeric format, representing the gravitational field at the given point.

nasa-nex-climate-changes
Project Members from this locationThe current project is dedicated to ease the users who need visualization of the temperature changes. The information is gathered from the NEX-DCP30 climate dataset, in NetCDF format. We parse the data and migrate it to a database, from where we visualize it via the dedicated web application.

CIBS (Crater Inserted Bio Sphere)
Project Members from this locationLightweight (under 1 ton) We use a crater in which the installation is deployed. The low weight is a result of the lack of hard walls a ceiling and the need for supports. The subterranean design also has the advantage of being immune to high wind speeds and sandstorms.
