Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Hyun, VP of Product at Kayhan Space. We're a SaaS company striving to create top-notch software experiences for the space industry. Our software is currently being used by leading satellite operators. As a company, we aim to offer something for everyone. While there's a wealth of data available from sources like space-track.org and "GCAT" from Jonathan McDowell's website, and numerous tools, what's missing is a unified platform. The industry lacks a space-related tool with modern user experience accessible to all. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of Satcat. Whether you're a satellite operator, astronomer, or simply interested in space, there's something for you to explore on Satcat! Here's what you can do with Satcat.com: - Track satellites like the International Space Station in real-time and get forecasts on when they'll be visible from your location. - View a 3D globe of active satellites. - Access up to 4 years of historical TLEs and orbital elements data. - Load your own TLEs and visualize your own orbits. - Search satellites by owner, country of origin, launch date, decay date, orbital elements, and more. And did I mention it's free? This is just our first release, and we're thrilled to share it with you and see it grow. Check it out for free at https://www.satcat.com. --- Please check out these YouTube videos to max out Satcat's utility! How to use the basic search

@hyun_seo Thank you for sharing this data! I think it's important for the public to have access to it for numerous reasons.

Love the design of the site, especially the Globe visualization. Did you use Three.js to implement that? Noticed the annoying Cookie Banner on the site, you could remove that with StatsPro

@carsonlarue Thanks Carson! We use Cesium! https://cesium.com/platform/cesi... if you're interested in integrating Cesium with NextJS; I have some few repos that are actually deployed on Vercel here: https://github.com/hyundotio/nex... https://github.com/hyundotio/nex... https://github.com/hyundotio/hig... Thanks for the StatsPro recommendation! We're definitely not a fan of the cookie banner!

That is SICK! I wish I was deeper in this particular industry, but even lacking that i can directly see the huge benefits of this product. Incredible work!

Hi Hyun, this is so cool! Congratulations on launching! I don't work in the space tech industry but it's so interesting to see how transparent and searchable satellites are with your tech.

@emily_willis1 Thank you very much Emily! Amazingly, the data is primarily available because of the US Government; specifically provided by the US Space Force (formerly by US Air Force) via space-track.org Happy searching!

Great work! Awesome to see it live. The refresh rate per second is impressive for a no cost platform. Good glimpse into the wider Kayhan platform for Operators.

@hyun_seo mind blowing, upvoted! How do you manage all that real-time information?

@fabdurso Thank you Fabrizio! So a lot of the data comes from the US Space Force via space-track.org in a format called TLE / 3LEs (Two or Three Line Elements). It's literally a 3 lined string that has "orbital parameters" in them; I.e., what was the physical state of an object in a given time? Then we historically catalog that (that's how you get the time-based plots) and for the globe, we "propagate" them. I.e., using a physics simulator called SGP4, it forward/backward projects the trajectory of a given satellite. Fun fact: TLEs have about a ~1km+ error distance; not too bad when viewing dots on a 30" screen, but not very good when you want to coordinate two separate satellite to avoid a collision!
