PROJECT THEME
In space, there is no east, west, south or north, the planet rotating and around one fixed star, meteoric stream maintains on one position or keeps rotating and fly by a kind of gravitational force. Differences in galactic rotation also increasing difficulty in spaceship is finding the right angle and match to one planet or international station. The astronaut can't easily know the ship's position of configured space trip when they drive their ships while within a planetary system.
This project will use interstellar travel with exploring universe as a theme; refer to sci-fi movies, astronomy and games; wield user experience design knowledge. The goal is creating conceptual space navigation, control panel and universe data statistics. Besides, adapt existing planetary data to navigation method and extend to predict the evolution, orbits, environmental information of newly discovered planets.
PROBLEM DISCUSSION
How to travel without being affected by the limited spatial perception in the space?
SOLUTION
Build one Sci-fi space travel map to demonstrate flight status.

ROUTES ANALYSIS
Base on the earth's position of universe, measure the route from the earth to another planet of different galaxies. Clearly point space international stations or habitats on each way.
BASIC SHIP STATUS
Energy, gravity, signal connection, temperature, humidity, bacterial detection, radiation, and oxygen system.
EMERGENCY PREDICTION
Meteorites, School of Rock, Ionosphere, Atmospheric movement, and obstacle avoidance.

SENSATION
Space: the final frontier.
In a future world, perhaps every family will have its own long-range space shuttle, they are flying from one international space station to another, or to different planets. It is this lifestyle that is similar to life now but may be completely different, that makes me addicted to this project.
