Deploy Solutions is proud to be a continued organizer and sponsor of the fifth annual Space Apps Ottawa hackathon event, which is the local version of the global (and highly popular) NASA International Space Apps Challenge. That event is now celebrating 10 years!

2021 marks the tenth annual NASA International Space Apps Challenge. In honor of this event, the theme is, “The Power of Ten.” This year, NASA will commemorate ten amazing years of community, collaboration, and innovation by forming a power team of ten international space agencies, including our own Canadian Space Agency, who’ll work together to make Space Apps accessible to more communities worldwide. This FREE and entirely VIRTUAL event will run from Friday evening, October 1 to Sunday, October 3. Find out more, including how to register, at https://www.spaceappsottawa.com.

The solutions to the challenges rely on publicly available open sourced data from NASA, the Canadian Space Agency, and eight other international space agencies and organizations.

Each year this event is provides a fun and creative introduction to the world of open source and space industry projects. Due to COVID-19, this year’s event will be entirely virtual.

See you there!

COVID-19 Special Edition Hackathon, and Impact on Space Apps Ottawa 2020

2020-05-24 by Deploy_Admin

Space Apps Challenge – COVID-19 Special Edition

NASA will hold a virtual Covid-19 Special Edition of the Space Apps Challenge on the weekend of May 30-31. This is in addition to the annual event which will still be held in October. You will find more information about the special edition event here.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) will take this opportunity to release data from MOPITT and Radarsat 2 satellites in the hope that participants across Canada and elsewhere will use them to tackle one of the Covid-19 challenges.

Space Apps Ottawa 2020: Online Only?

Our first concern is to hold our annual event in a way that is not only fun, inspiring, and educational, but safe and secure for all participants.

COVID-19 pandemic will require us to comply with new public safety regulations and bylaws and there is an enormous amount of uncertainty about what October might look like. We may not be able to physically hold this event.

Having said that – our hackathon is still a go!

The organizing committee has begun to plan for a version of this event that will be primarily virtual / online. We will provide updates when we know more.

Register now to help us plan your hackathon experience

Although event details are uncertain, it will be held October 2 to 4 as originally planned.

Please register online in order to ensure your space and allow us to provide you with the best possible experience. In addition, if you would like to assist with sponsorship, volunteering, organizing, or mentoring; or have feedback or suggestions on what a great online hackathon experience could look like, please email us at info@spaceappsottawa.com or contact me directly on LinkedIn.

We hope you will join us for another great year solving “out of this world” challenges in a fun (and now virtual) environment!

A New Horizon – Space Apps in Canada

2019-11-29 by Nicholas Kellett

In October Deploy Software Solutions was an organizing sponsor of the third annual Space Apps Ottawa hackathon, which is the local branch of the global (and highly popular) NASA International Space Apps Challenge. The event is

…an intense 48-hour global weekend hackathon for developers, designers, engineers, entrepreneurs, astronomers and enthusiasts. Along with nearly 200 cities around the world, Ottawa teams will form and build products and prototypes against NASA-designed challenges that leverage spacecraft, celestial and science data.

This is a fun introduction to the world of open source projects and the space industry. The challenges are designed by both NASA and our own Canadian Space Agency. Solutions to the challenges rely on NASA’s publicly available open sourced data and require teamwork and creativity!

At this year’s Canadian Space Society annual summit, CEO Nicholas Kellett had a chance to speak about the opportunity Space Apps hackathons can play in Canada’s space industry. The presentation, called “A New Horizon: Space Apps in Canada” provided a

…satellite-eye view of hackathons and space apps globally and in Canada. What are they, what business problems and technical challenges can they solve, what is their history and how can the Canadian space industry leverage them to achieve downstream software excellence?
