ARTEMIS II/TRACKER
Live mission console for the Artemis II crewed lunar flyby. Spacecraft state vector from JPL Horizons, Deep Space Network dish activity from DSN Now, and space-weather notifications from NASA DONKI, rendered as a ground-station-style HUD.
current build
return-coast phase · day 7 of 10 · 5/7 dishes active · 2 Artemis links
panels
01
PRIMARY TELEMETRY
MET clock, distance from Earth and Moon, speed, altitude, light time, range rate, max distance, full ICRF position/velocity vector, Julian date, estimated period.
02
TRAJECTORY PLOT
2D top-down figure-8 lunar flyby — Earth orbit, trans-lunar injection, outbound coast, lunar flyby, return coast, re-entry. Apollo 13 distance reference line included.
03
MISSION TIMELINE
Phase indicator (current phase highlighted ACTIVE), key events with planned UTC timestamps — ICPS separation, TLI burn, correction burns, SOI entry/exit, closest approach, return-coast correction, CM separation, splashdown.
04
DSN STATUS
Per-complex dish list with active count, azimuth/elevation, current target, S-band uplink/downlink rate, range, RTLT. Highlights dishes actively talking to Artemis II.
05
SPACE WEATHER STRIP
Top-bar at-a-glance status — CME count, flare class, Kp index, SEP, radiation. Each populated from DONKI; nominal values shown in dim green, alerts in amber/red.
data sources
all upstream — no synthetic data
JPL Horizons Spacecraft ephemeris — ICRF position and velocity for Orion every 3 min
DSN Now Deep Space Network dish status — Goldstone, Madrid, Canberra every 5 s
NASA DONKI Space-weather notifications — CME, flares, geomagnetic storms, SEP every 15 min
NASA Artemis II Mission timeline, key events, crew bios, mission overview static

KNOWN ISSUES
- >Top-bar space-weather strip reads as a single run-on row — datasets need stronger visual separation between CME / FLARE / KP / SEP / RADIATION groups.
- >Mission timestamps are based on a 1 Apr 2026 launch reference; the real Artemis II launch window will replace these once NET dates firm up.
- >3D CesiumJS globe view is implemented in code but not yet exposed in this preview build — only the 2D top-down trajectory plot is live here.
