@ross Incredibly proud, humbled, and thrilled that JSC saw this tool as a value over AROW. Looking forward to future talks with NASA on how we can make this even better for Artemis III!

Now that the Artemis II crew has made their way home to Houston, I'm reflecting on what started as a project to get a better grasp of the mission, which turned into something shown in Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center.

Shout out to Ben Feist and the entire Artemis II Science team.

All things considered, many lessons were learned when 5400 people simultaneously tried to access the dashboard. Overall, we saw over 1.5 million page views in just the nine flight days, with nearly 1000 people signing up for updates for when I update or create new space missions and trackers.

We are incredibly proud of how this was received and humbled to see it used by some of the very people making this historic mission happen. Historical data is still available at https://artemis.cdnspace.ca!

It's splashdown day! Follow along with our real-time tracker. There are special Entry-Descent-Landing modals that will appear as we progress through the timeline!

Ad astra Ingenuity!

We're working on a very alpha of tracking the International Space Station.

Pushed some new features tonight:

• Real ephemeris trajectory + frame fixes
• Panel visibility (bottom left gear icon)
• Earth detail zoom inset for re-entry approach
• Real-scale toggle on the orbit map
• Country flags on all DSN displays
• GDPR cookie consent
• /stats page with live counters, speed rankings, phase timeline
• /track page with visible now, compass, magnitude, Moon proximity, TLE export, Moon proximity direction
• Full EN/FR i18n across every page
• OG social sharing image
• React error boundaries on all panels
• Separation event flags parsed from AROW
• Mission timeline rebuilt from scratch

Shoutout to @saveitforparts! We're in his newest video! Gabe, we left a comment on your video. Hope you see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0U7ljvHIhY

Shout out to @everydayastronaut for using the tracker on his live stream!

Also new to this update: A dedicated communications page: https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/dsn Tracking Orion if you have a telescope powerful enough: https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/track

Just shipped a bunch of stuff:

• RCS thruster map (live thruster activity)
• SAW inner/outer gimbal display, sun efficiency display based on orientation
• milestones updated from jakobrosin/artemis-data
• overhauled the DSN page: https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/dsn
• fullscreen 2D orbit map, fixed the near moon visualization
• mobile improvements
• miles per hour and knots
• changelog can be permanently dismissed, it's in the footer, for those with the page open on a permanent display
• scroll position is preserved across new build reloads for permanent displays
• 7 new API endpoints exposed
• Reid indicated as oldest human to go beyond LEO
• a ton of internal improvements to handle 2000 people hitting it https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/

Please keep emailing cdnspace@chadohman.ca with your bugs and feature ideas.

@jakobrosin Very cool! We are working to be ADA compliant but this is awesome!

We've updated the tracker with a lot of features, including real-time telemetry from #Artemis II. This is now the most robust Orion tracker available. If you have a SeeStar/Vaonis/DWARFLABS telecope, you can connect it directly to track Orion. If not, https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/track will help you out otherwise. There is a public API if you are working on something cool and want data: https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/api-docs If you have feedback, please let us know. #nasa #artemis #artemis2

@fauntleroy we're pulling data directly from an unpublished data source thanks to friends down at NASA JSC. We are exposing an API for folks that want to us it, but we ask that anyone interested in this API to DM us before we give them the link. We're being careful as we only have so many server resources for this aggregated telemetry.

@fauntleroy Altitude = distance from Earth's surface (subtracts Earth's radius of 6,371 km) Earth Distance = distance from Earth's center We're pulling data directly from NASA through an API that isn't publicly documented, so the reference is likely of the orbital body they're currently subject to, which is and will always be Earth as Artemis II is on a free return. If they were to capture around the Moon, this might be more complicated. We're interpreting this data the best we can and we feel we've been doing a pretty damn good job.

@ZenHeathen We had to go digging for it, decomposing the Unity engine that NASA JPL shared. NASA has been very opaque on this detailed info.

RE: @cdnspace@mstdn.ca

We've found the source of AROW's data, so we have a ton more data, including real attitude data, solar array angles, and we've discovered that the ICPS is still in orbit, and we're capturing its attitude data. As a result, we're now refreshing data in real-time from JPL, but everyone will need to do a refresh of their browsers to get these new features.

We have also published an API for simplicity's sake, so folks don't need to track down all of the various sources. If you want access to the API, please DM.

@oz1sej Great idea. There's now a unit switcher in the bottom left of the footer to switch between km/hr and m/s!

If you're tracking #Artemis II, here are a couple of helpful resources:
