The most international group in the history of the competition I hope to see these applications on the market in the future,’ says Jakub Balhar, one of the judges. ‘The students from Agrosphere and WorldWeather teams did a great job at integrating the data relevant to agriculture and weather respectably into the applications usable by both general public and specialist in the fields. It was developed by Gabriele Prestifilippo, Simone Battaglia, Giulia Petrillo and Maria Rita Battaglia from the Polytechnic University of Milan and University of Bologna. MuViAS: Multi Dimension Viz & Analysis Suite that came second in the competition enables effective visualisation of files. Behind this solution are Khaled Sharif and Farah Salah, who have participated in NASAs internship program. These displays can be used to monitor weather phenomena and to predict the development of the climate. The other solution on the shared first place, World Weather, is an application for scientists, meteorologists and weather enthusiasts that creates 3D and 4D displays using weather data from different sources. The application was developed by John Nguyen, Mingda Tang, Stacey Chen, Atreya Iyer and Nick Rubel from NASAs World Wind 2017 Intern team. This way it can visualise how the climate change affects agriculture. One of the winners, AgroSphere developed for teaching purposes, combines climate data and information on the development of agricultural crop production. The aim of the competition was to find new, creative solutions that promote sustainable development and utilise open satellite data and NASA's World Wind programming platform. The second place was awarded to an Italian team and their solution MuViAS: Multi Dimension Viz & Analysis Suite. Out of 11 finalists, AgroSphere developed by an American team and World Weather developed by a Jordanian-Finnish team were chosen as winners. The judges consisted of Finnish and foreign experts in the fields of space, satellites and climate. The winners of the NASA Europa Challenge application competition, which was organised for the first time in Finland, have been chosen. It is an open access code programme interface on whose basis it is possible, for instance, to create 3D visualisations of terrain and cities, predict weather phenomena, and monitor traffic. The competing applications utilise NASA's World Wind.
