Space enthusiasts and educators lack simple tools to track and understand experimental satellites. A platform that ingests public telemetry data and presents it through interactive visualizations would fill this gap.

Build a map-based interface with orbit tracking, mission timelines, and simplified sensor data displays. Schools and space hobbyists would pay for premium features like custom alerts.

Start by plotting just position data from one satellite provider. The main challenge is making raw telemetry meaningful to non-experts without oversimplifying.
