🌌 🚀 ☄ 🛰 A tool that visualizes space debris positions from your current location, for NASA Space Apps Hackathon 2018.

Trashgazing

Main fork is https://github.com/pseudo-apt/trashgazing

Web app that generates a projection of space debris coordinates from space-track.com. Based on current position (defaults to downtown Montreal), it will grab all coordinates of near- and medium-earth space debris (roughly ~30,000 at time of creation) and plot onto a circle based on compass coordinates. So, if you were to lie on your back, you would be able to view trash constellations and trash dwarf planets and trash asteroids in realtime.

Written in Python/JS/WebGL for the 48 hour NASA Space Apps Hackathon 2018.
