Your
Hackathon
Toolkit

We wanted to minimise the time needed to process data. That’s why we created a dedicated data notebook for each hackathon. The data notebooks contains several resources focused on the hackathon theme. Learn about the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, the platform used for the last editions of the hackathons.

You have access to virtual storage and computational resources for the duration of each hackathon. The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem supports the CASSINI Hackathons participants by enabling you to discover, manipulate, and download Copernicus data and information. The cloud infrastructure aims to provide all the processing power and storage you needed to build their way to success.

Participants in the CASSINI Hackathons will have the opportunity to connect directly to satellites, a service provided by KINEIS. This will allow you to test and validate your solutions in real-world conditions, using live data from advanced sensors. By integrating this technology, you can enhance your projects with real-time functionality, adding practical and innovative elements to your hackathon experience.

Participants in the CASSINI Hackathons will have the opportunity to get support from satellite collision avoidance and space traffic management experts from GMV. This will allow you to validate your solutions for Challenge #3: Orbital Security with the European leaders in this field using state-of-the-art operational tools to boost your hackathon experience.

Missing crucial data? We got you covered. You may take advantage of our code repository. Past participants were invited to share their code with the CASSINI Hackathons community on the open-source platform Github.

New to hackathons? No problem. We prepared two playbooks that allow you to make the most out of your first hackathon experience. Access helpful tips on how to face challenges, where to go if you need support, and what tools you’ll be required to use throughout the event in the Participant Playbook. The Business Design Playbook guides you to discover, build and tap into business opportunities with your ideas.
