Satellite drag analysis API

Create an API that processes satellite orbital decay data for atmospheric research. Serve climate scientists and space agencies.

Why now

Growing satellite constellations provide unprecedented data about atmospheric density changes.

Who for
Atmospheric researchers
Business model
API subscriptions
Effort
A few weeks

Researchers manually analyze satellite orbital decay to study atmospheric changes. An API could automate this by processing public TLE data and calculating decay rates.

Sell to university research labs and private weather prediction companies. Start by offering basic decay rate calculations before adding advanced modeling.

The niche market may limit growth potential without government contracts.
