I built a real-time space mission control dashboard with live NASA, JPL, and NOAA data
I wanted one place to see everything happening in space right now — so I built it. Space Monitor pulls live data from 14 sources into a single mission control dashboard: ISS position updated every 10 seconds, real solar flare alerts from NOAA SWPC GOES, Voyager 1 & 2 distances from JPL Horizons, Deep Space Network dish status so you can see which spacecraft NASA is talking to right now, today's Astronomy Picture of the Day, Mars weather from Curiosity REMS, latest Perseverance raw images, upcoming rocket launches, near-Earth asteroids this week, and the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
The 3D solar system uses real Keplerian orbital mechanics — not circular toy orbits. Real eccentricities, axial tilts, and 16 moons including the Galilean moons, Titan, and Triton.
There's also an AI co-pilot you can ask things like "Why is Venus hotter than Mercury?" or "Quiz me about Saturn" — it pulls live data to answer.
