In a previous semester ADACS conducted a code audit for the Fireballs in the sky app (see here). This audit resulted in a detailed plan for all the work needed to reimplement the app, and to incorporate new features. In short, the goals for this semester were to use React Native to create a 3d planetarium viewer that would allow users to trace the trajectory of a meteor, indicate the brightness and colour, and make notes about fragmentation and sounds.

New features for this app include:

• All reports are submitted directly to the International Meteor Organisation's "report a fireball" website,
• Offline mode, where the reports are stored locally until users are back in range of internet service,
• A news feed to alert users of DFN activities and upcoming meteor showers,
• An object of interest picker, so that people can find planets and meteor showers.

This project is designed to run over two semesters (2024B and 2025A).
