Diseño de web app para la visualización de satélites

The objective of this project is the design of a Web App where the main characteristics of the orbiting Earth satellites can be intuitively, didactically and easily visualized. It has been sought to stablish a theoretic guide and brief explanations about how they operate, as well as a set of different maps where the basic information of the satellite can be available. The main source of information are the well-known Two-Lines-Elements (TLEs), a data format with a list of elements for a chosen object in a certain date, which, along with the propagator (Simplified General Perturbations, SGP4) provides every necessary data for the orbit characterization. The information of these TLEs is officially and publicly provided by Space-Track (project initially developed by the US Air Force) and the Celestrak Company (coworker of Space-Track). In addition, every component and library used in this project are for public use. Multiple functionalities were aimed to be integrated in the Web App: different views, information filtering, history, comparisons and calculations. But it is the 'families' section the one which has been developed extensively, since it can be the more attractive feature for the web users in the future. With this special feature, fields such as coverage, orbit description or the occupation of the space used are addressed. This project intends to clarify the outer space to the average user and bring the aerospace industry closer to those who have interest in the subject. That is why this web is listed as a disclosure project, given that, although it is a scientific project and deals with complex issues, it is created for all audiences and no deep prior knowledge is required to make use of it. For more sophisticated and complex studies, there are more appropriate tools than the project that is planned to be carried out. Incoming
