Project Description

Scroll ↓

"Beyond Borders: Uniting Nations in Space" is an educational website designed to teach users about the International Space Station. The homepage features a long-scroll experience that presents a brief history of the ISS, enhanced with images and key facts. As users scroll, they are guided to an interactive diagram that allows them to explore the station's various modules and sections, learning about significant milestones, international collaborations, and contributing space agencies. This proof of concept was created in Figma to showcase the interactive features and overall user experience.

This section is designed to build foundational knowledge for users, especially those unfamiliar with the I.S.S. It offers a chronological overview of its history in a visually engaging format. Rather than a traditional top-down scroll, the page takes users on a vertical journey that begins at the bottom of the page and ascends upward, symbolically guiding them from Earth to the International Space Station.

As users reach the International Space Station, they are able to enter an interactive diagram that allows them to explore the station's various modules and sections, learning about significant dates, international collaborations, and contributing space agencies.
