TruSat: Track satellites to reduce space debris

TruSat is an open-source citizen science platform for satellite tracking. It helps you spot satellites in the sky, to crowdsource an independent, decentralized record of satellite behavior.

Hi friends, Our team started TruSat to help diversify, democratize, and decentralize space endeavors. This is a volunteer-led, open-source, non-profit project. We're looking for help to spread the word, so we'd really appreciate your upvote. Why does the planet need TruSat?... In the next decade, the # of satellites in orbit will multiply by 2,500%, increasing the risk of collisions and debris that could trap humans on Earth. The only way to incentivize satellite operators to reduce these risks is through a data source for satellite behavior that everyone can trust to be transparent, objective, and tamper-proof. TruSat provides this data source. TruSat helps you spot satellites from your backyard and submit your observations to update the citizen-powered catalog of satellite positions. This transparent record creates accountability for responsible behavior. Thanks! Mike Github: https://github.com/trusat White paper: https://learn.trusat.org/docs/ov...

Great idea :) Reminds me of SETI, but for humans :D UP!
