This visualization maps satellites in Earth orbit, with the location of each satellite represented as a point on a global map. It uses D3 v4 with SVG rendering, overlaid on geographic data. The visualization plots satellite positions based on orbital parameters, with GEO satellites shown at their longitudinal positions and LEO satellites distributed across their orbital paths. The map is rendered using a geographic projection of the world, with Massachusetts included as a reference for scale. Users can explore the distribution of satellites by orbit type and other attributes from the dataset. The visualization is color-coded by orbit type or operator, and hovering over a satellite reveals details such as its name, launch date, and purpose.

GEO Satellite Map

This visualization displays the locations and characteristics of geostationary and other Earth-orbiting satellites as a GEO satellite map. Using D3 v4 with both SVG and Canvas rendering, the map plots satellite positions above a geographic basemap, with the Massachusetts boundary data from the included JSON file providing regional context. Each satellite is positioned according to its orbital longitude from the GEOs.csv dataset, and the visualization encodes satellite attributes such as country/operator, orbit type, and launch vehicle through visual properties like color and symbol shape. The map allows viewers to explore the distribution of satellites across geostationary orbits, distinguishing between commercial, military, and civil operators. Hovering over a satellite reveals details about its operator, purpose, launch date, and orbital parameters. The visualization is implemented with D3 v4, using SVG for the geographic base layer and canvas for rendering the satellite positions, and is licensed under MIT.

Satellite

This visualization shows a rotating globe with a graticule and sphere outline from the perspective of a satellite orbiting Earth. The animation continuously adjusts the camera tilt and rotation, creating a dynamic view of the planet’s surface. It uses the D3.js graphics pipeline with `d3.geo.satellite` for projection, `d3.geo.clipCircle` for visibility clipping, and the Canvas API for rendering. The data source is a graticule and sphere generated on the fly, with real-time animation driven by a timer and elapsed time.

GEO Satellite Map not canvas WIP

This visualization shows the positions of geostationary satellites on a world map using a Canvas-based approach. The example uses D3 v4 with TopoJSON to render world geography, plotting satellite locations from a CSV dataset of GEO satellites. Satellites are displayed as small gray dots positioned by their recorded longitude, while the map itself is rendered on canvas for performance. The visualization is a work in progress, as indicated by the title, and includes hover effects for satellite identification, with the underlying geographic data drawn using SVG paths and the satellite positions overlaid on canvas.

Satellites Projection DRAFT

This interactive visualization displays a globe with an orthographic projection, showing Earth's landmasses as black shapes on a white sphere. Users can drag to rotate the globe, with the rotation implemented using versor mathematics for smooth, accurate quaternion-based navigation. The code uses d3.geoOrthographic, d3.geoPath, and Canvas rendering to draw the sphere and land features from TopoJSON world-atlas data. A satellite velocity calculation appears in the corner, though it is computed but not visually represented on the globe. The example is a modified version of Mike Bostock’s Interactive Orthographic block.

Satellite Projection

This example shows a satellite-style view of the United States, with a graticule grid overlaying the landmass. The map uses the `d3.geo.satellite` projection with a tilted and rotated camera angle, and clips the view to the globe’s visible horizon. The graticule is generated with `d3.geo.graticule`, while land boundaries are rendered from TopoJSON data via `topojson.feature` and drawn using `d3.geo.path`. The SVG output is styled with CSS classes for the graticule and boundary fills.

Satellite Projection

This example shows a satellite projection of the United States, with a graticule overlay and land boundaries rendered as SVG paths. The projection is created with `d3.geo.satellite()`, configured with a distance, scale, rotation, center, and tilt to simulate a view from space. The graticule is generated using `d3.geo.graticule()` and the map data is loaded from an external JSON file via `d3.json`. The code uses `d3.geo.path()` with the projection to draw both the graticule and the land polygons, which are converted from TopoJSON using `topojson.feature()`.

Top Internet Countries Visualization

This visualization displays the number of satellites by country, stacked by satellite purpose, using D3 v4 with SVG rendering. The bar chart shows satellite counts for various countries, with each bar segmented by color-coded purpose categories such as Earth Observation, Communications, and Space Science. The x-axis lists country names with angled labels for readability, while the y-axis shows satellite counts. The data is loaded from a CSV file and processed using D3's stack layout to create the stacked bar representation. The chart includes a color scale from d3.schemeCategory10 to distinguish purposes, with axis labels for "Country" and "Total Satellites".

line between points w satellite projection

A satellite projection renders the Earth from an angled, tilted viewpoint, with graticule lines, country borders, and urban areas drawn from Natural Earth data via TopoJSON. A dashed red quadratic curve connects projected city markers for Paris and Rome, both plotted as points over the map. The visualization uses D3.js and the d3.geo.satellite projection from the d3-geo-projection plugin, with features painted onto a continuously rendered canvas.
