NASA APIs provide programmatic access to the data in the public archives of NASA, such as the images captured by Mars Rovers and Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). 

This course will help you explore space using NASA's public data archives. You'll be provided with a step-by-step guide on how to sign up for an account and retrieve the access keys. The Asteroid NeoWs API will help you retrieve data about near-earth asteroids. You’ll also use the EONET API to retrieve data regarding hazards and the EPIC API to retrieve colored images of the Earth. Next, you'll pull surface photos of Mars using the Mars Rover Photo API and move on to pulling images and metadata for NASA's photo of the day using the APOD API and media from NASA's archives using the Image and Video Library API. You'll finish by bundling astronomical data and photos into a fully functional React application.  

By the end of this course, you'll have a working knowledge of various NASA APIs and the ability to integrate them in a React application.

Exploring Space with NASA APIs in JavaScript

Humanity’s second home after Earth is expected to be Mars. We’ve been searching for life in outer space for centuries. The discovery of polar ice caps on Mars gave us hope that it might be the planet where we would find life after all. In an effort to discover more about Mars, NASA landed multiple rovers on Mars to get information about the planet. The Mars Rover Photos API provides us with information collected by these three rovers:


- Curiosity
- Opportunity
- Spirit
