I built http://www.asterank.com/ http://www.asterank.com/ and still maintain it after its acquisition by Planetary Resources. It is open source and its code has been used in a surprising number of space-related projects. If you're interested in getting involved, you might help modify the Asterank engine to be a better general-purpose framework for 3D space visualizations. This would benefit the space community as a whole by making the project a lot easier to adapt for commercial and educational purposes. Code: https://github.com/typpo/asterank https://github.com/typpo/asterank
I'm also on an open-source NASA grant where we're implementing web-based asteroid data analysis tools. It's a bit earlier stage but still room to get involved.
Code: https://github.com/typpo/astrokit https://github.com/typpo/astrokit
Email me (hn@ianww.com) if you want to talk about either of these!
- djellybeans 9y agoHey typpo, data visualization and space exploration sounds like a great combo for me! I will email you shortly. Your website is pretty great I think has lots of potential. I have experience programming in 3D graphics too, and have tried to find another project for use in the web.
