Development of an automated application to collect and filter CubeSat’s data

Abstract

In recent years, the utilization of CubeSats has proliferated across diverse institutions worldwide, marking a transformative shift in space exploration. However, despite their widespread adoption, in low-cost missions there remains a conspicuous lack of comprehensive information and tracking accessibility for the broader community beyond traditional channels like Ham Radio "amateur radio". The NanoSatTrack project serves as a platform using MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js) with the primary goal of making data generated by nanosatellites accessible to the general public in real time. It achieves this by offering a website equipped with interactive dashboards. These dashboards play a vital role in presenting and visualizing the key telemetry and information derived from the satellite's mission interface. In essence, NanoSatTrack enables anyone to conveniently access and understand the valuable data produced by nanosatellites. It is responsible for creating a dashboard showing the communication between the Earth (a ground station) and a satellite, that are divided in multiple telecommunication links. This project allows for future CubeSat missions to better show their project's achievements and help them ensure an easier approach to its collected data.
