Overview
The Challenge
Satfollow is a sophisticated orbital mission console that brings satellite tracking to your fingertips. Using Three.js and real-time data, it visualizes the complex web of objects orbiting our planet, categorized by their orbital inclination. The interface provides mission-critical controls, including timeline scrubbing and various camera perspectives to monitor the 'population' of space assets.
Key Outcomes
- Developed a high-performance 3D visualization of Earth and satellite orbits
- Implemented inclination-based orbital categorization and real-time population tracking
- Created a mission-control inspired UI with time-scrubbing and multiple camera presets
