Live Asteroid Sim
Ship #1: Live Asteroid Sim is ready for its very first ship! This app is an interactive 3D simulator displaying real-time near-Earth asteroids from NASA NeoWs API with orbits, size, speed, and approach vectors. It utilizes the live API to display real data and simulation of asteroids and their threat to the Earth. The app also includes simulators of impact damage as well as DART (Planetary Defense) for protecting the Earth from incoming asteroids.

Live Asteroid 3D Simulator Devlog 1
Today I made my initial build of my project, Live Asteroid Sim 3D. The app is built off of React Next.js as well as using Three.js for the modeling of the Earth and the Asteroids. The purpose of the app is to use NASA’s API to extract current live data on asteroids to educate the population on current hazards and asteroid routes. For purposes of the simulation, the distances of the asteroids from the earth is truncated compared to the distance from the earth to the moon because if I were to make it as of scale, it would be way too hard for the user to locate the asteroids admist the empty space. However, I provided data tables that clearly depict the actual live values of the asteroids as well as comparison for easy visualization. Hope you all enjoy the project, I have much more to code to add on!
