Session 5: Ground

Abstract

In this paper, we present SpaceCentre, an advanced web application for satellite mission planning and control. Developed at the Satellite and Airborne Radar Systems Laboratory by undergraduate students and research staff, SpaceCentre embraces the latest web technologies and application design philosophies such as mobile readiness, responsiveness, and reactiveness. By leveraging NodeJS and the Node Package Manager, developers of SpaceCentre have ready access to a huge repository of the latest and most advanced libraries available today, rendering the tool easily extensible. SpaceCentre is a feature-packed application equipping mission control staff with the tools needed to plan and execute satellite missions seamlessly. The web application has been integrated with the ground station equipment of the Galassia nanosatellite, and is currently under active use by research staff of the laboratory, as well as for educational purposes for undergraduate students of the institute.
