Data Pipeline
From orbital mechanics data to live NOC-ready globe visualization in six steps.
TLE / Orbital Data Ingestion
Two-Line Element (TLE) sets for all tracked satellites are fetched from CelesTrak and Space-Track, covering LEO, MEO, and GEO constellations. Orbital elements are cached server-side and refreshed at configurable intervals to balance freshness with API rate limits.
Beam Footprint Computation
Per-satellite beam footprints are computed from the orbital position, elevation mask, and antenna half-angle parameters. Coverage polygons are generated as GeoJSON features and projected onto the globe surface for each active beam.
Gateway Health Polling
Ground station gateways are polled via REST or SNMP endpoints at configurable intervals. Uplink/downlink status, signal strength, EIRP, and latency metrics are collected, normalized, and stored in a time-series buffer for KPI aggregation.
3D Globe Rendering
Satellite positions, ground station markers, beam footprint polygons, and orbit arc tracks are rendered on a globe.gl WebGL globe. The scene is updated every 5 seconds with fresh propagated positions and live gateway health color coding.
KPI Overlay
NOC-grade KPIs — link availability, beam utilization, handover rate, and signal degradation indicators — are overlaid directly on the globe as color-coded heat zones and per-satellite badges, giving operators immediate operational awareness.
Alert Integration
Threshold-based alerts for signal outages, gateway failures, and coverage gaps are generated in real time and surfaced in the globe UI as pulsing markers. Webhook and email integration allows NOC teams to route alerts to existing incident management systems.
