Global Nominee

ISS-3D

High-Level Project Summary

This page tracks ISS using TLE (Two Line Element Set) data obtained from NORAD and displays a 3D model of ISS.Also enables users to see when the ISS passes over their location

Detailed Project Description

ISS in 3D

What it does

Visualizes the orbit of ISS around the earth using 3d models of them
Get details on when ISS could pass over their location
Change the speed of the timeline
Clicking on the time of ISS passing over a location sets the timeline to show the passing over time

``

Benefits

Helps users visualize ISS orbit and explore the 3d model of ISS

Tools, languages used

NextJS for frontend UI and backend
semantic-UI react library for UI elements
CesiumJS library for the 3d models and 3d modeling API
satelliteJS library for conversion of TLE to orbit objects cesiumJS can use
openstreet API for geocoding

Space Agency Data

3d model of ISS from NASA
TLE data from CelesTrak

Hackathon Journey

I got to work with new technologies (like cesiumjs) through the Space Apps Challenge. I've also found my new interest - satellite orbits - algorithms to predict their intersection and thereby collisions!
