Tracking satellites has never been this easy.

🚧 Project in WIP

⚙️ How is it made ?

Data is coming from https://www.space-track.org/.

It uses the SGP4 model to predict satellites position. Every SGP4 calculations are done on a second CPU via WebWorkers thread to avoid lag on the main rendering thread. It also uses instanced mesh for the 3D object, which helps avoid a ton of GPU draw calls

⚠️ The app runs pretty smoothly on any device but does a lot of calculations in the background which are power-hungry and might drain batteries quickly on mobile devices.
