Our team involved both design and development experts who worked together to create a user-friendly interface that was accessible to both NASA KSC Virtual Guest Administrators and Virtual Guests.

Results
Ensemble delivered a high-quality product that met the needs of NASA KSC Virtual Guest Administrators and Virtual Guests. The application was designed for two users, NASA KSC Virtual Guest Administrators and Virtual Guests. NASA Administrators have access to a back-end interface where they can create an event profile containing all the relevant information about an upcoming event. The content is then passed to the virtual guest time converter front-end interface, where virtual guests can select from a list of saved event profiles. Once they input their local time zone and confirm their local time, the virtual guest user is presented with a global map that highlights the location and local time of the NASA event, including both broadcast time and launch time.
Finally, virtual guests are given the option to share the event to their social media platform with a message and automated imagery of the event. Users can also download the global map image with their event details. The application is designed to be an intuitive and user-friendly web platform that provides virtual guests with an engaging and interactive experience during NASA events they attend.
