# NASA Exoplanet Query
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Tier:** 3-Advanced
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since 1992 over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered outside our solar
|
||
|
|
system. The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
|
||
|
|
maintains a publicly accessible archive of the data collected on these in
|
||
|
|
comma separated value (CSV) format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The objective of the NASA Exoplanet Query app is to make this data available
|
||
|
|
for simple queries by its users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Requirements & Constraints
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The Developer should implement a means of efficiently loading the exoplanet
|
||
|
|
CSV data obtained from NASA to minimize any delays when the application starts.
|
||
|
|
- Similarly, the Developer should utilize a data structure and search mechanism
|
||
|
|
that minimizes the time required to query the exoplanet data and display the
|
||
|
|
results.
|
||
|
|
- The Developer will need to review the Exoplanet Archive documentation to
|
||
|
|
understand the format of the data fields.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## User Stories
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [ ] User can see an query input panel containing dropdowns allowing the
|
||
|
|
user to query on year of discovery, discovery method, host name, and discovery
|
||
|
|
facility.
|
||
|
|
- [ ] User can also see 'Clear' and 'Search' buttons in the query input panel.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
dropdowns.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
all of the selected query values.
|
||
|
|
- [ ] User can see an error message if the 'Search' button was clicked, but
|
||
|
|
no query values were selected.
|
||
|
|
- [ ] User can see the matching exoplanet data displayed in tabular format
|
||
|
|
in an results panel below the query panel. Only the queriable fields should
|
||
|
|
be displayed.
|
||
|
|
- [ ] User can click the 'Clear' button to reset the query selections and

|
||
|
|
Overview Page for that planet
|
||
|
|
- [ ] User can click on the host name to display the Confirmed Planet Overview
|
||
|
|
Page in a new browser tab.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
