This project involved the development of a software application, named Astraeus, that offers the following functionalities for managing space objects:
• Visualization: The ability to graphically represent space objects and other SSA information
• Orbital Position Monitoring and Prediction: Tracking current locations and predicting future positions of space objects
• Conjunction Analysis: Assessing and analyzing the potential for collisions between space objects
As a foundational tool, this SSA application can serve as a cornerstone application for a rudimentary and continuously evolving Space Surveillance & Tracking (SST) system, enabling it to deliver core SST services.
The ability to compute overflight passes for designated areas, detailing the time of ingress, time of egress, and the total number of passes
Establishing a connection with an intelligence database to enrich the application with extensive information on space objects
A walkthrough of the user interface (UI) is provided through the following list of videos covering the use cases of space objects visualization, orbit propagation and conjunction analysis:
