Mars Rover Photos

This project will be used to test front-end engineering candidates at SIBI. The project uses NASA's open apis to show information from the 3 Mars Rovers (Opportunity, Curiosity and Spirit). You can view more information on the APIs available by going to https://api.nasa.gov/, selecting Browse Apis and selecting Mars Rover Photos.

Pre-requisites

  1. The candidate will need a NASA open api key. You can get one from here - https://api.nasa.gov/

  2. The candidate will be using Zoom

Interview Task 1 - Add Show / Hide Mission Manifest on Rover Detail Page

Mission Manifest

A mission manifest is available for each Rover at /manifests/rover_name. This manifest will list details of the Rover's mission to help narrow down photo queries to the API. The information in the manifest includes:

Key Description
name Name of the Rover
landing_date The Rover's landing date on Mars
launch_date The Rover's launch date from Earth
status The Rover's mission status
max_sol The most recent Martian sol from which photos exist
max_date The most recent Earth date from which photos exist
total_photos Number of photos taken by that Rover

Scenario

We would like to add a new feature to the mars-rover photo app that will give users the ability to show/hide the Mission Manifest on the Rover Detail page.

Initially the Rover's mission manifest will not be shown when the rover detail page is first loaded,

  • Pressing the "Show Manifest" button will call the NASA endpoint to get the manifest for the rover.

A sample API call to fetch the manifest for the Curiosity rover is shown below

https://api.nasa.gov/mars-photos/api/v1/manifests/curiosity?api_key=DEMO_KEY

Here is a sample response from the manifest request

{
    "photo_manifest": {
        "name": "Curiosity",
        "landing_date": "2012-08-06",
        "launch_date": "2011-11-26",
        "status": "active",
        "max_sol": 2786,
        "max_date": "2020-06-07",
        "total_photos": 425068,
        "photos": []
    }
}

API KEY

The api key is in the <rootDirectory>/.env file and can be accessed by process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_NASA_API_KEY
