Stratoflights is a web platform for trajectory prediction and real-time tracking of stratospheric balloons (sondes). The service computes the flight trajectory using a global atmospheric model, displays it on a map and compares the forecast against the vehicle's actual telemetry.
The platform is under development and will be released under the free GPLv3 license; the trajectory computation math kernel is distributed under LGPL, which allows it to be used in third-party applications.
Computation of the ascent, drift and descent trajectory using global atmospheric model (GFS) data.
Receiving vehicle telemetry and displaying its position, altitude and track on the map.
Standard and custom ascent and descent profiles, including aerodynamic descent.
A visual editor for custom vertical rate profiles with CSV import.
Multiple parallel computations with their own parameters, color and opacity on one map.
Displaying the wind field at different altitudes to analyze conditions along the route.
Overlaying the actual trajectory onto the forecast, with altitude and horizontal deviation charts.
Saving and reusing launch sites with coordinates and altitude.
Free GPLv3 license and a reusable math kernel under LGPL.
