High-Level Project Summary
International Space Station or ISS for short is a large spacecraft that is built with the help of nations at once. The ISS orbits around the earth carrying scientists in it. It serves as a home station for the crew, astronauts, and scientists that are present there to conduct scientific experiments that are only possible in the no or micro-gravity environment. Our web app is going to be a mockup for its learning, and awareness and inspire the future generation to add value to it.What did we develop?Trackellite is based on creating a web app that tracks and monitors the real-time coordinates, orbit, and velocity of the International Space Station. In the times when several countr

Detailed Project Description
- The Web App works on Nasa's open source library 'Web World Wind'.
- The longitude, latitude, and velocity of the satellite are calculated with the help of TLE (Two Line Element) using Satellite Js which is an open source project.
- The orbital mechanics are predictable because of Satellite Js.
- Satellite orbits the earth in real time because of Web World Wind.
A sole purpose of this virtual model is to fascinate the younger generation about the ISS and its goals.
This model has proven to track the International Space Station in 3D. From telling where it was to predict where it could be based on past data, this is now possible.
This virtual model is capable of making people believe even they can add value to the scientific society and make the world a better place.
Fascinate kids about the miraculous voyage of the International Space Station.
Space Agency Data
1.) We are using the open source Library Web World Wind which is provided by NASA-https://github.com/NASAWorldWind/WebWorldWind and https://github.com/WorldWindLabs/SpaceBirds
2.)The orbital mechanics and prediction of the International space station are done by js - https://github.com/shashwatak/satellite-js
3) The Texture of the satellite and planet is used from- https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/
Hackathon Journey
When we first heard about this event we were not sure if we would participate but then we realized if we did not participate then how we will aim to learn this.
So we took our first step toward this journey.
During the process, we learned, observed, and worked hard. We learned how to be productive under pressure, and work as a team.
In the starting, we were looking at problems but now we are motivated to find the solutions.
It's not about the destination but the journey, we have learned to embrace the journey
