My goal has always been the space and defense industry. I've been actively working on projects to nudge myself into that direction. My latest project is no different. I built a real-time 3D satellite tracker that visualizes 15,000+ objects currently orbiting Earth, live, in your browser. Link: https://lnkd.in/eM845VAJ Built with React, Three.js & WebGL, the app pulls live TLE data from CelesTrak and uses SGP4 orbital propagation. Which is the same standard used by NASA to compute the real-time position of every tracked object. Click any object to see its live altitude, speed, and coordinate data. You can filter by category or search for a specific satellite by name. Tools like this already exist. Stellarium, Heavens-Above, satellitemap.space, all incredible. The world didn't really need another satellite tracker, but it gave me a reason to dig deeper into orbital mechanics, real-time visualization, and satellite data processing. If you have feedback, suggestions, or bugs please let me know. Everything I build, I build to learn.
