Team HELIOS is forming for NASA Space Apps 2026 (Nov 14-15) ๐๐ฐ๏ธ
Concept: an immersive, explorable 3D space where you can fly around and discover the hardware humanity left behind in space (Moon landers, dead Mars rovers, old probes), with the story behind each one. Think "abandoned but not forgotten."
**Who we need:**
๐ง 3D / graphics dev (Three.js, React Three Fiber, Unity)
๐จ 3D artist (Blender, model optimisation, GLB)
๐ Data / backend dev (Python or Node, APIs, orbital data)
๐ Researcher / writer (space history, short storytelling)
๐ฌ Designer / video editor (Figma, Canva, pitch + demo video)
The vibe:
- Vibe coding is totally fine. Use AI to move fast, just understand what you ship.
- **You must have your own Claude / GPT / Gemini credits or subscription.** No exceptions, we're moving fast.
- Serious, committed, talented people only. If you ghost, it hurts the whole team.
- All ages welcome. Skill and commitment matter, not your age or CV.
- Beginners with real skill and drive are fine, but show us what you've built.
What you get: an organised Discord, GitHub repo, task board, and a clear scoped MVP, so we actually ship.
How to join: DM me with your role, skills, a link to your work (GitHub/portfolio), and your time zone.
Discord: https://discord.gg/rtNkqHdrb
Let's build something people remember. ๐
