NASA TESS Mission Narrative

A narrative visualization project showcasing TESS's mission and exploring Earth-like exoplanets.

The NASA TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission is a space telescope launched by NASA in 2018 with the primary goal of searching for exoplanets. TESS's mission objective is to discover and study planets outside our solar system and find Earth-sized and potentially habitable planets.

This tool allows users to interactively explore the data collected by TESS and compare the properties of these exoplanets with those of Earth with flexible control levels.

Storyline:

  • Scene 1 : Overview of exoplanets discovered by TESS by years. The user can get to the next scene by clicking on a specific planet in the scatter plot.
  • Scene 2 : Detailed view of the selected exoplanet's characteristics like Equilibrium Temperature and Orbital Eccentricity.
  • Scene 3 : Interactive exploration scene where user can filter or search planets based on their characteristics.

Scene1

Scene 1 offers a profound look into the timeline of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discoveries. It highlights the planets with characteristics similar to Earth.

Scene2

Scene 2 provides a toolkit to delve into the attributes of individual planets. It lets you contrast the aspects of planet parameters with those of Earth.

Scene3

Scene 3 brings an interactive dashboard that evolves the visualization based on your preferences for a tailored analytical insight.
