CubeSat WebServer

A lightweight, robust web server designed for CubeSat missions to provide real-time telemetry visualization, command-and-control (C2) interfaces, and remote diagnostics.

🛰️ Project Overview

This repository contains the source code for a web-based interface and backend server tailored for small satellite operations. It allows operators to monitor the health and status of the CubeSat through a standard web browser, bridging the gap between raw telemetry packets and user-friendly data representation.

Key Features

• Real-Time Telemetry: Live dashboard for monitoring battery voltage, temperature, orientation (ADCS), and signal strength.

• Command Interface: Secure portal to send uplink commands directly to the satellite or flight software simulator.

• Data Logging: Historical data storage and CSV/JSON export for post-mission analysis.

• Responsive Design: Accessible via desktops, tablets, or mobile devices for field testing.

• [Feature 3]: (e.g., Integrated 3D visualization of the satellite's current attitude).

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Backend: [e.g., Node.js / Python Flask / C++ ESP32]

• Frontend: [e.g., React / Vue.js / Vanilla JS & HTML]

• Database: [e.g., SQLite / InfluxDB / MongoDB]

• Communication: [e.g., WebSockets / MQTT / REST API]

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• [e.g., Node.js v16+]

• [e.g., Python 3.8+]

• [e.g., Hardware: Raspberry Pi or ESP32 if applicable]

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   Bash

   git clone https://github.com/Yog-io/CubeSat-WEbServer.git
   cd CubeSat-WEbServer
   

2. Install dependencies:

   Bash

   # For Node.js
   npm install
   
   # OR for Python
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Configure Environment: Create a .env file or modify config.json to set your port and satellite connection parameters (e.g., Serial port or IP address).

4. Run the server:

   Bash

   npm start
   # OR
   python app.py
   

5. Access the Dashboard: Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 (or your configured port).

📊 System Architecture

The server typically acts as a middleware between the ground station hardware (SDR/Radio) and the end-user, processing binary packets into human-readable JSON.
