Space Camp App
For the fifth time, ESA is inviting 20 developers to its ESRIN location in Frascati, Italy (including travel expenses and accommodation) — and you can be one of them! Whether you’re selected for the Space App Camp will depend on the creativity of your previous works with regard to their content, usability, design, and underlying business concepts, so show us the best apps you’ve developed.
Seize this opportunity to meet with like-minded people, create mobile applications using satellite data, and gain insight into ESA’s work!
The goal of the Space App Camp is to produce mobile apps using Earth observation data on smartphones. In doing so, it focuses on leveraging the possibilities offered by the European Earth observation programme Copernicus, which became operational with the launch of the first Sentinel Satellite in April 2014.
ESA will provide access to satellite data for the development of mobile applications (Android and iOS) in five predefined categories. A dedicated API will make it easy for you to integrate Earth observation data into your app. To take part in the Space App Camp, you don’t need any experience in integrating such data.
Participants will be able to choose their preferred category and apply either alone or in teams of two, or four. All selected candidates will then be grouped into teams of four.
What, when, where?
The App Camp will take place from 12–19 September 2016 at the European Space Agency’s Centre for Earth Observation (ESRIN) in Frascati (near Rome, Italy)
