More Information
Summary:Satellite state data in the form of multiple separate files is received via one or more ground stations 101 and compiled into a single dataset accessible via an application programming interface (API) 105 and searchable by time range. Further methods of processing satellite state data comprise receiving raw satellite state data, receiving manoeuvre data relating to one or more scheduled manoeuvres of the satellite, and filtering the received raw satellite state data in an orbit determination process 103 to provide filtered satellite state data. The manoeuvre data is used in the filtering of the received raw satellite state data. Further methods of scheduling a satellite manoeuvre comprise receiving parameters for one or more planned manoeuvres to move the satellite from a current orbit to a new orbit, where the parameters include a time and duration of each of the one or more planned manoeuvres. Times of eclipses of the Sun by the Earth during future orbits of the satellite are received and scheduling the manoeuvre to take place according to the determined parameters and the times of eclipses.
