Space ACME was an IRAD project I worked on at Rocket Communication for a company called Dragon Army, who was trying to develop a tool for the JCO to help plan and prepare for space events. Essentially, Space ACME is a tool that helps operators at the JCO model satellite orbit changes and such, to make sure things go as planned when maneuvering objects in space.
Our unique challenge was to not only create an intuitive UI for something that had never before been created, but to also pull data from all over the space community into one cohesive product to give users fast and accurate data to model from.
The solution was a web-based 3D rendering tool that is robust yet not too data heavy, and easy enough for entry-level JCO operators with minimal training to use.
