Orbital Sky
Live track the KALAM
Summary
We obtained information from the space-track.organd retrieved the database from space track's web APIThe data folder in our project comprises 19,824 on-orbit objects with a radar cross-section (RCS) equal or above 5 cm; between payloads (operational and derelict), spent rocket stages, general space debris, and objects still waiting for classification.due to a short period of time, we end up with one satellite as of prototype the future scope of the project aims to include each and every satellite in the web application and spread the word "space is for everybody
How We Addressed This Challenge
Aryabhata is a web application that displays all the objects tracked in Earth orbit in real time. You can see a demo on its usage here. It's based around the NASA WorldWind 3D globe web library and the Satellite.js library. It obtains the information of all the orbiting objects from a public data source set up by the US government. If you want to see Aryabhata source code, check this point in the history of the repository.
How We Developed This Project
We took a sample from the resources provided and used propagator software and fed TLE data to it. Edited a lot Javascript and made this project possible. We used Visual studio code to edit the codes. Used Python to extract some of the data but we didn't included in the source we going to provide. Cause it does mean more for this project.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We used NASA World-Wind 3D globe library and Satellite.js for production of 3 D figure. We used space-track.org to obtain information and used space track's web API to retrieve the data.
