Space Mission Planner ☄️

This is a submission for the KendoReact Free Components Challenge.

What I Built

The Space Mission Planner is a sophisticated web application that enables users to simulate and plan fictional space missions.

I Built with React, TypeScript, and KendoReact component and it offers a unique blend of functionality and sci-fi aesthetics.

You can plan missions to different planets, manage crew assignments, track mission progress, and also monitor mission statistics in real-time.

Key Features:

  • 🚀 Mission Planning with destination selection and launch scheduling
  • 👨‍🚀 Crew Management with role assignments and experience tracking
  • 📊 Mission Progress Tracking with milestones and status updates
  • 📈 Real-time Statistics Dashboard
  • 🔄 Simulation Mode for testing mission scenarios
  • 🎯 Priority Mission Flagging
  • 📝 Mission Objectives Management
  • 📋 Comprehensive Mission Logs
