Student Innovation
Pitch Session

Over two intensive weeks, MSS26 students learned to build interactive web applications that transform satellite and geospatial data into decision-making tools. The course: 20% lecture, 80% hands-on coding.

• Real satellite and spatial data (Copernicus, OpenData)
• Interactive maps with Leaflet.js and modern JavaScript
• Deployed publicly on GitHub Pages
• 5-minute pitch + live demo format

Le Rhin, en direct. The Rhine, live.

An immersive scrollytelling web application that visualizes how Rhine water levels directly impact Europe's most critical inland shipping corridor, right here through Strasbourg.

• The crisis: In 2018, record low water at the Kaub gauge paralyzed Rhine shipping for months, costing billions
• The cascade: Low water → reduced cargo → factory shutdowns → consumer price spikes
• The tool: Interactive gauge simulator, real-time data layers, and economic impact calculator
• Local connection: "Strasbourg: NOUS SOMMES ICI" on the Rhine corridor map

Sustainability, seen from space.

A premium, high-resolution Earth Observation platform that turns every satellite pass into a traceable environmental score per asset, mapping real-time data to international regulations.

• Traceable metrics: Fuses carbon footprint, optical, and thermal satellite observations
• Asset-level scores: Environmental ratings updated automatically with each orbit
• Interactive UI: Deep, clean mapping and data dashboards tailored for ESG compliance

Everything and Anything Space.

The world's first curated marketplace dedicated entirely to the space sector. It serves as a unified, trusted hub connecting space agencies, startups, creators, and space enthusiasts to trade space products and services.

• Unified platform: Bridges the gap between space providers and enterprise buyers
• Cosmic UX: Features a high-fidelity visual search engine and vendor dashboard
• E-commerce built for orbit: Clean onboarding process for space sector vendors
