Detailed information can be found on the hackathon website (climate-gg.second-team.com).

Additionally, at the "Space Experience Zone" in the Planet Gyeonggi Hall of the Gyeonggi Provincial Library, participants can join the "10 Missions to Protect the Earth" program, which includes experiences such as trying on spacesuits and sampling future foods.

Through this event, Gyeonggi Province aims to commemorate the first successful transmission and reception of the Gyeonggi Climate Satellite and to share the importance of responding to the climate crisis through satellite technology with its residents.

Cha Sungsoo, Director of the Climate, Environment, and Energy Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "The first reception of data from the Gyeonggi Climate Satellite signifies that Gyeonggi Province has secured technological capabilities in the space industry and has taken a further step toward addressing the climate crisis. We will continue to implement scientific and proactive climate policies based on satellite data."
