A team of students from the Kyiv Aviation Institute won first place in the Galactic Impact category at the NASA International Space Apps Challenge hackathon. This prestigious award recognizes projects with the greatest potential to create a positive impact on humanity. This is stated in messages Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
Ukrainian developers presented the innovative application NVS-knot, which integrates satellite and hydrological data to optimize processes in agriculture. The solution helps farmers manage water resources more efficiently, providing accurate information for planning irrigation, forecasting yields and minimizing the impact of climate change.
NASA representatives highly appreciated the practicality and innovation of the Ukrainian development. Winners will receive their award in person at NASA headquarters.
This year’s hackathon brought together more than 15,000 teams from 163 countries. Participants had only 48 hours to create innovative solutions in the fields of science, technology, ecology and space. The Ukrainian team was able to attract attention with its idea, which has significant potential for solving global problems.
The victory at this event was another achievement for Ukrainian students who are actively involved in international initiatives. Earlier, on October 19-20, the Hack4Innovation student hackathon took place in Kyiv, where participants worked on innovations in the FinTech field. This shows the growing interest in technology among Ukrainian youth and their ability to compete on the world stage.
