Project Overview

Space Rodents is an analysis and visualization platform that explores the effects of microgravity on rodent physiology during space missions. Rodents are commonly used as test subjects in space research due to their biological similarities to humans, making them vital to space biology experiments. Our platform enables users to understand and visualize key metrics and behaviors of rodents in space environments.

Key Insights:

• Visualize how space missions affect rodent physiology.
• Analyze rodent behavior in microgravity through data-driven insights.
• Gain an understanding of the importance of rodent research in preparation for human space exploration.

Technologies Used

• React: Front-end library for building the user interface.
• Bootstrap: For responsive design and styling.
• Gradio: Used to build machine learning-powered user interfaces.
• Power BI: For embedding interactive data visualization and analytics.
• Vercel: For deployment and continuous integration.

Features

• Data Visualization: Interactive Power BI reports on rodent experiments conducted in space.
• Machine Learning Interface: Using Gradio to enable users to experiment with predictive models for rodent health in space.
• Responsive Design: A mobile-first design that looks great on any device.

Installation
