Space-Debris-Monitor is a quintessential 'student project' or personal experiment rather than a production-grade tool. With only 2 stars and no activity for over a year, it lacks any community traction or momentum. From a technical standpoint, the project is a thin wrapper around the public Space-Track.org API. It performs basic data fetching and visualization without implementing proprietary orbital propagation algorithms or high-fidelity collision probability models (like those found in NASA's CARA or commercial equivalents). The defensibility is near zero because the core value—the orbital data—is owned by a third party (US Space Command), and the visualization/alerting logic is trivial to replicate. In the professional Space Situational Awareness (SSA) market, this project competes against heavyweights like LeoLabs and Slingshot Aerospace, as well as robust open-source libraries like Orekit or Skyfield, which offer actual physics engines. Frontier labs are unlikely to compete here as the domain is too specialized and hardware-dependent (radar/telescopes), but the project is already superseded by existing open and closed-source tools.
