Description:

Satellite Visualizer is a web-based application developed in collaboration with the Aerospace Corporation and Cal State LA. It visualizes a GPS metric called Dilution of Precision (DOP), which reflects the accuracy of GPS satellite coverage across the globe. The app displays this data on an interactive world map using a color scale to indicate precision levels.

The website generates and displays DOP data based on user-selected timestamps, using satellite almanac data from NAVCEN, custom DOP computations, and a FastAPI + InfluxDB backend. The frontend was built with Vue.js and Leaflet.js and provides an interactive map for exploring GPS DOP performance across different timestamps.
