Global Nominee

Orbital Sky

A huge number of satellites in Earth's orbit support our day-to-day life on the ground. Your challenge is to develop a method to improve public knowledge of these satellites, with an eye towards driving user engagement, enthusiasm, and exploration.

Sateliverse

Summary

The idea is to create a multi platform app that will bring a friendly graphical interface and will also allow the user so he’ll be able to navigate throughout a satellite's network in order to obtain their information. The app features contextualization about the satellites understanding as its daily influence making the access of the area information more accessible because those’re considered too technical for a clear understanding if they would’ve been presented to the public who’s not part of a astronomic context in order to deepen the satellites information about their orbits behaviors, so providing a ambientation regarding the product features and positions in a specific timestamp.

How We Addressed This Challenge


The project is based on the informations accessibilty and a friendly presentation for them, bringing some interactivity for those informations in order to make the understanding for the commom people easier. Accessibilty is also presented in the form of a possibilty for the execution upon several platforms, although with some reduced requisites, so it becomes lightweight and pratical.

How We Developed This Project

We used the data of NASA SSC API that was treated with the Satellite TLE lib tools. The data of line 1 and line 2 of satellites was processed by TLE lib and filtered in a 3d position of space and object name. After we used the name and position of objects combined with a virtual reality framework (A-Frame) to create a virtual ambient to show the information about satellites visibles to the user in your localization.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

The API SSC RESTFUL has been used to obtain the informations regarding the satelittes's name, lines 1 and 2. From that, the API resulting data wiil be process by the TLE Satellite which will return a useful information set for the well aplication behavioring, as the approximate location given a time period, trajectory, and velocity.
