Zenith API

Real-time satellite tracking platform with interactive radar visualization.

Live Project: zenithapi.space

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Astro.js.
• Data: Geolocation API, Satellite orbital data (TLE).
• Backend: Node.js, Express.js (API layer).

Technical Overview

• Coordinate Transformation: Conversion of satellite orbital data into observer-relative coordinates (Azimuth/Elevation).
• Radar Visualization: Interactive radial grid mapping satellite positions with real-time updates and directional guides.
• Visibility Logic: Filtering system based on elevation thresholds, azimuth ranges, and sunlit status.
• Data Management: Searchable and sortable satellite catalog with orbital parameters (Inclination, Period, Apogee/Perigee).
• Developer Tools: Public API endpoints and technical documentation for satellite tracking logic.
