Space Mission Tracker

Professional mission control with real-time tracking and 3D visualization.

Overview

The Space Mission Tracker provides an immersive experience for following global space exploration. It integrates live data feeds covering more than a thousand historical and upcoming launches, using a custom caching system to ensure that mission-critical information is always available and up to date.

A major highlight of the project is the interactive visualization suite. This includes a 3D launch globe built with WebGL that maps launch sites across all seven continents, alongside a live ISS tracker that illustrates the station's orbital path in real time. There is also a dedicated section for Starship testing, providing technical logs and telemetry for every major flight test.

Beyond tracking, the app offers tools for deep analysis, such as a rocket comparison engine and a logarithmic mission timeline. Registered users can manage personal watchlists, receive notifications before ignition, and maintain their own mission logs, creating a comprehensive personal headquarters for following the future of space flight.
