A squad of brilliant Techno India University students won first place in the coveted NASA Space Apps Challenge 2024. Four gifted people make up the squad, appropriately called squad The Stardust: Ankit Agarwal, Lagnajit Ghosh, Srija Dutta, and Sayantani Sinha. Their revolutionary initiative, NyxNova, has captured the interest of specialists everywhere and established a new standard in the field of planetary exploration.
NyxNova is an advanced application that uses extensive machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models to map and understand lunar topography with preciseness. Its novel methodology outperforms earlier techniques and offers previously unheard-of precision in comprehending the moon’s surface. This new method provides greater insights into lunar terrain, which will be essential for improving future space missions.
In recognition of their achievement in the NASA Space Apps Challenge, Team Stardust has been nominated globally for NASA, where they will face up against the best innovators in the world. Their accomplishments demonstrate their talent and originality and demonstrate Techno India University’s dedication to supporting ground-breaking research. This accomplishment, which showcases the team’s inventiveness as they get ready for the next round of competition, makes the university and the country immensely proud.
Congratulations to Team Stardust! We wish them the best of luck on their journey to NASA!
