The hackathon, was a collaborative event. It was open to undergraduate or postgraduate students interested in improving their radar technology expertise through mission design. The goal was to propose a mission/instrument concept that advances the state of the art in radar remote sensing. With the objective of enhancing the participant’s understanding of mission design, demonstrate radar system synergy, and foster innovative solutions in radar remote sensing relevant to New Zealand.
Hackathon
Attendees received the necessary learning experience in remote sensing, sensor design, and development to successfully complete the hackathon. They were introduced to:
- Integrated mission design and requirements flow.
- Demonstrate the synergy and complementarity between different SAR missions.
Students were guided to develop a mission/instrument concept that advanced the state of the art in radar remote sensing. Identify observable gaps in existing missions/systems and propose solutions to address these gaps.
Information
The Hackathon took place at the University of Canterbury Ilam Campus in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Event started at 8:30am on September 5th.
By Aotearoa New Zealand’s University of Canterbury and the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), on behalf of the Instrumentation and Future Technologies Technical Committee (IFT).
Winners
Oliver Kim, Changjin He, Lucy Zhu won the hackathon with a mission proposal for Wildfire Monitoring with SAR Technology. They won entrance into to the Aerospace Summit in Christchurch and will be able to present a poster about their idea in the UC booth later.
