Satellites is a THREE.js visualization of the man-made debris which is currently floating inwards range simply about planet Earth. This 3D globe shows 10,000 orbiting objects that are tracked past times the U.S. of A. of America Space Surveillance Network.
There are currently to a greater extent than than 20,000 objects, to a greater extent than frequently than non rocket bodies, debris, together with satellites inwards range almost our planet. This map simulates simply about 10,000 of those objects orbiting the public based on existent data. Three unlike types of man-made object are shown on the map, these are designated every bit Payload, Debris or Rocket Body. These iii unlike types of object are represented on the map past times unlike shapes. If y'all pick out an object on the map y'all tin mail away besides run into what type of object it is together with to a greater extent than details from its entry on the Space Track database.
You tin mail away larn to a greater extent than almost how all this debris ended upwards orbiting the public on the Story of Space Debris. The Story of Space Debris visualizes the history of infinite debris accumulating simply about the public since the launch of Sputnik i inwards 1957. The rocket that launched Sputnik was the starting fourth dimension e'er slice of infinite debris. There are instantly over 20,000 man-made objects currently orbiting the Earth.
The visualization shows all these man-made objects orbiting an interactive 3D globe. The Story of Space Debris starts inwards 1957 amongst that Russian launch of Sputnik 1. If y'all role the frontwards buttons y'all tin mail away progress chronologically through the history of the infinite programme together with sentry every bit the infinite debris chop-chop accumulates inwards range simply about planet Earth.
Orbital Objects is some other WebGL Globe showing all the infinite debris orbiting our planet. It besides shows the seat of currently active satellites. Active satellites on this globe are displayed inwards green, inactive satellites inwards grayness together with the cherry points demonstrate the infinite debris.
