odevop/Space-Debris-Tracker

The project serves as a basic implementation of standard orbital mechanics concepts. With only 8 stars and 1 fork over nearly 2.5 years, it lacks any community traction or developer velocity. The core logic—propagating TLEs using the SGP4/SDP4 models—is a commodity capability provided by mature, high-performance libraries like 'Skyfield' or 'Orekit'. Furthermore, professional Space Situational Awareness (SSA) requires radar-derived covariance matrices and high-fidelity force models which this prototype does not address. Competitive projects like Privateer's Wayfinder or LeoLabs' platforms offer significantly deeper datasets and more robust computational engines. For an investor or developer, this repo represents a personal educational project rather than a viable piece of infrastructure. The risk of platform domination is medium not because of OpenAI/Google, but because specialized aerospace platforms (like AWS Ground Station or Azure Orbital) are more likely to provide these tools as managed services.
