Phoebe — LEO Space Traffic Dashboard

Project Overview

Phoebe is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) monitoring prototype designed to track satellites, debris, and potential collision risks. With thousands of objects in orbit, monitoring is crucial to prevent collisions and debris buildup, including the risk of Kessler Syndrome.

Using simulated and sample data, Phoebe visualizes objects on a 3D dashboard built with Python, Streamlit, and Plotly. High-risk satellites are highlighted, and collision alerts are simulated to demonstrate how a full system could operate.

Features

• 3D LEO Visualization: Interactive 3D map of Earth and orbiting satellites/debris.
• Risk Analysis: Simple proximity-based collision risk indicators.
• Object Filtering: Filter satellites by type (high-risk, major satellites, debris).
• LEO Summary: Shows total tracked objects, high-risk objects, and estimated debris in orbit.

LEO Statistics (Informational)

• Tracked objects: ~40,000
• Active payloads: ~11,000
• Estimated space debris >1 cm: ~1.2 million
• Objects >10 cm: ~50,000

Technologies

• Python
• Streamlit
• Plotly
• Pandas & NumPy
• Skyfield (future real-time orbital data)
