Console rendering

The console combines fleet telemetry, orbital elements, catalog assets, and user imports in an asset registry. Rendered positions and analysis results depend on the data available for each asset.

Satellite positions

A Web Worker propagates TLEs with SGP4 and supplies sampled position windows. The renderer interpolates between samples as the playhead moves. Moving outside the prepared window requires another set of samples.

Interpolation, sample spacing, and element age affect accuracy. A smooth orbit is not evidence of fresh telemetry or a precise ephemeris. Check the element epoch and the source of the displayed data.

Ground sites and links

Ground sites use published coordinates. Equipment is grouped under its station, and antenna and modem readings can be grouped by link_id.

The scene can include both telemetry-backed connections and links calculated from geometry. Geometric feasibility does not establish an active RF connection. Publish a link record with source and target tags to identify an observed connection; see Equipment contracts.

Analysis overlays

Coverage, access, and other analysis tools add results to the scene. Their assumptions and inputs determine what those results mean. Check the selected assets, time window, and available measurements before using a result operationally.
