An Open-Source, Python-Powered Web Framework to Support Small Satellite Mission Operations

摘要

Mission operations of small satellites is becoming increasingly complex due to the large amount of data that is generated during the mission lifetime. This data must be stored, managed, and visualized to the various stakeholders of a mission in a timely and easy to use manner to provide tactical overview on the satellite health and performance and the overall mission planning. In this paper we present a web-based system that we have developed to support small satellite operations in terms of mission data storage, management, and visualization. The entire software is free and open source and written in the Python 3 language, widely used by data scientists and system administrators.
