GCS for CanSat missions with local AI telemetry analysis

CanSat GCS — Real-time ground control for small satellites. Built for CanSat competition: ESP32 + LoRa transmits telemetry a Python bridge validates every packet, InfluxDB stores it, Grafana renders it live — altitude, orientation, GPS trail, link quality, battery, all in one dashboard. Auto detects launch, parachute deploy, and landing. Generates a post-flight report automatically. Full stack. Open source. Built by a student, for students.
The thing I'd pin down is what the local AI does with a gap. LoRa drops packets, and a model that reads a dropout as sensor failure hands you a confident wrong call in the middle of a two minute descent, which is worse than saying nothing. If the Python bridge already marks a packet as missing rather than just absent, pass that flag into the analysis and let it abstain. Also 1 star and 0 forks is well under what a working ESP32 to Grafana pipeline is worth.
