A brief description of the Story, relevance to its Epic (), and what its outcome shall look like
As part of the UTAT Mission Control Center (MCC )architecture, we want to incorporate real-time orbit trajectory visualization for our ongoing missions; something that could be thrown up on a permanent display in the lab, alongside additional command and telemetry UI. FINCH won't be launching for some time, but HERON's deployment offers us an opportunity to validate some of this software infrastructure come October. Being able to visualize HERON's orbit in a browser would make for another great addition to our media campaign. We intend for the MCC to be publicly accessible as a web application.
This story is concerned with the design and implementation of a pipeline to acquire two-line element sets (TLE: a data format encoding a list of orbital elements of an Earth-orbiting object for a given point in time) from the HERON groundstation, and visualize HERON’s position in its orbit through a publicly accessible web app.
