Cesium Satellite Visualization

Interactive 3D visualization of the entire near-earth satellite catalog (~13,000 satellites).

Files:

  • cesium_fast.py - Main script (downloads TLEs, propagates, generates HTML)
  • cesium_template.html - HTML/JS template for the visualization

Running

uv run --python 3.12 examples/cesium_fast.py

This generates cesium_fast.html in the project root. Open it in your browser.

Features

  • Multithreaded SGP4 propagation (~300M propagations/sec on 16 threads with AVX512)
  • Color coded constellations (Starlink, OneWeb, Planet, Spire, Iridium, etc.)
  • Toggle constellation visibility
  • Search satellites by name (auto-labels when ≤10 results)
  • Click for orbital details, double-click to track
  • Real time mode showing actual current UTC positions

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key Action
Space Pause/resume
R Toggle real-time mode
Esc Stop tracking / reset view

Other Examples

  • python_sgp4.py - Basic SGP4 propagation using python-sgp4 compatible API (astroz.api)
  • conjunction_screening.py - Conjunction detection example (Python)
  • propagation.zig - SGP4/SDP4 propagation with SIMD batch, modular interface, and unified Satellite type
  • orbit_maneuvers.zig - Hohmann transfer and orbital maneuvers
  • maneuver_planning.zig - Force model propagation (TwoBody, J2, Composite, Dormand-Prince 8(7))
  • constellation_phasing.zig - Sun-sync orbit design and constellation RAAN phasing
