SGP4 14,588 Satellites in Orbit

Posted by: Matthew Ahn in Projects CIS565 GPU 1 year, 2 months ago

GPU Accelerated SGP4 Algorithm. This video shows the orbits of 14,588 different satellites. The satellites positions are in ECI coordinate system. As you can see there is no model of the Earth drawn. That is still to come.

Under the hood, there is a slight issue. Each satellite is propagated with a different epoch. They need to be sync'd initially before I start the propagation.

SGP4 Progress

Posted by: Matthew Ahn in Projects CIS565 GPU C++ 1 year, 2 months ago

Significant progress porting the SGP4 algorithm to a CUDA implementation. I can read in TLEs, initialize with all the SGP models and propagate forward in time.

SGP4 Equations

Posted by: Matthew Ahn in Projects CIS565 GPU 1 year, 2 months ago

I've been reading through Fundamentals of Astrodynamics [Bate, Mueller, White] as well as breaking down the SPG4 source code for its formulas.
