- cebert 5y agoIf you’re into satellites and space, it’s fascinating to leverage two line element data sets (TLEs) so that you can determine the approximate position of an orbital vehicle at a given point in time. The public data is slightly fudged to reduce precision and accuracy. I’d recommend checking out http://celestrak.com/ http://celestrak.com/ and https://www.space-track.org https://www.space-track.org. There’s a company called AGI that has nice SDKs for visualizations. NASA WorldWind is also great for visualizing orbital positions. In a past life, I used these tools quite a bit.
