FLARESat is a web-based platform for satellite monitoring and data visualization. This project was developed for the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2025 for the catagory Commercializing Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The hackathon took place October 4th 2025 and lasted 48 hours. In this time we created a satellite constellation, CAD model, simulated expected data, custom lenses, and a working dashboard to compare our system against the exisiting NASA FIRMS satellites.
- Interactive 3D satellite visualization
- Real-time data monitoring utilizing API calls from NASA's FIRMS. (We baked in Data from past 24 hours for optimization and display purposes)
- Web-based interface
- Simulation of Delta Walker Constellation and their fire detection
- Dashboard portal for customers
- 3x real speed video of our dashboard found at https://versatilevariable.github.io/NASA_FLARE-Sat/dashboard.html
