The NEBULA Xplorer website was given to us as a project from SRON, the Space Research Organisation of the Netherlands. Its primary purpose is being a deep source of information on everything to do with the NEBULA Xplorer, a sattelite designed to research X-ray binary black holes and their relationships with companion stars over long periods of time. The project as a whole is a combined effort of over 400 students from within the Netherlands.

Our designs are all based on the Design Challenge from FDND Agency.
You can check out our Figma prototypes for more designs.
Our goals for this project are to build a multi-page website that:
- helps scientists visualize and interpret complex astronomical data from this mission
- assists engineers with explanations about the technologies of the instrument and satellite
- gives educational and industrial partners the opportunity to showcase themselves
- keeps students connected with each other

Our website includes a total of 7 main pages; Home, Mission, Scientific, News, Team, Careers and Partners. Four of these will eventually have their own detail pages, for example for articles, staff or partnership profiles, or job openings.
