In June 2020, ESA, NASA and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) in an unprecedented collaboration joined forces to create the Earth Observation Dashboard, an interactive platform that combines a wealth of data from Earth-observing satellites to monitor the worldwide impacts of COVID-19.
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the dashboard, coders, scientists, entrepreneurs and all space enthusiasts are invited to join the online Earth Observation Dashboard Hackathon. Participants will create virtual teams and solve challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic using data from the Earth Observation Dashboard. The challenge topics are: air and water quality, economic, social and agricultural impacts, greenhouse gas effects and impacts on the interconnected Earth system.
