Everyone,
I started digging into the ARISSat-1 Keplerian Elements in more details. See some of my effort here:
http://libjoe.blogspot.com/2012/02/arissat-1-keplerian-element-analysis.html
Right now I am generating some basic plots but I wish to do much more with this, such as:
- intersect this with the telemetry data - there are many ways to do this the first will be plotting temperature values along the line of orbit as the satellite entered / exited eclipse - maybe generate a few fly-by videos that show line-of-site to a particular station that was receiving telemetry / sstv at that particular time
If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to share them. I am really excited right now because I am using my code and made my first correct plots this evening!
If we knew (or could predict) the satellites orientation at a particular moment, I could drop in a model of ARISSat-1 into the scene and orient it correctly.
I think this will be a great way to interactively visualize what happened during the satellites lifetime.

Joseph,
Great project. When I went there with Firefox, no graphics, and with IE, only placeholders. Tried in safe mode with both programs, but no help.

Whoops! Lesson learned, do NOT copy / paste images into Google Blogger or the images will point to the temporary files on your file system.
I thought it was uploading them! Anyhow, you should be able to see the images now.
