Overview Oceanit HANDS High Accuracy Network Determination System Data representing problem Solution Defining Designing Implementing
Oceanit Innovation through engineering & science excellence Aerospace Consulting Engineering Life Sciences Information Technology
HANDS High Accuracy Network Determination System Worldwide network of ground optical stations Identify, track, and characterize objects in space Air Force Research Lab
Problem Enormous amount of information Constant stream of data Meaningful structure Current representation of the data is not familiar to the end user
Data representation
Solution
- Add new features to an existing application - Create a new application that contains the required features
Celestia Open Source Software Application Stand alone application Not well maintained
Define New Application Requirements 2 Dimensional data representation Real-time updates Dynamic data rescaling Multiple series Interactive application Clear structure of the application
Why C# Safer than predecessors Fast data management Flexible Automatic memory management Good for interactive applications C++ evolution C#
Design & Implementation Design phase Object oriented Code Structure - Hierarchical Easy to understand Grounds of the project
2D Visualization 2D data representation Real-time updates Dynamic data rescaling Longitude Time
2D Visualization 2D data representation Real-time updates Dynamic data rescaling Multiple data series Longitude Time
