Satellite tracker

This project focuses on real-time tracking and visualization of the Earth observation satellite AEROS-MH1, developed as part of a broader consortium effort.

I built the backend system responsible for computing the satellite’s position in orbit. The pipeline starts with orbital data from a Two-Line Element (TLE) file sourced from CelesTrak. Using the SGP4 propagation algorithm, I computed the satellite’s position over time, then transformed the resulting vectors into the WGS-84 coordinate reference system to enable accurate mapping on Earth.

This approach allows for reliable, near real-time visualization of the satellite’s trajectory, making it easier to monitor its position and better understand its observational coverage.
