Skyline.DataMiner.Empower.SatellitesDemo

About

This NuGet package is intended for use during an Empower demo. It provides an API to access dummy satellite data on a DataMiner system.

About the data

[!NOTE] This package it does not provide actual current satellite information.

Satellite information is read from a TLE text file assumed to be present in the local file system at C:\Skyline DataMiner\Documents\Empower\satellites.tle.txt. The satellite data is assumed to be retrieved from the CelesTrak Satellite TLE API on October 16th, 2023 at 13h28 UTC.

To avoid satellite decay errors when retrieving the position of a satellite, only the time of day from the provided DateTime is used and added as an offset. Therefore, the position will not match the real satellite position at that time.

Getting Started

Retrieving satellites

using Satellites;

var satellites = SatelliteAPI.GetSatellites();

Getting satellite positions

var satellite = satellites[0];

// Get the position of the satellite at the current time
var currentPosition = satellite.GetPosition();

// Get the position of the satellite in one hour from now
var nextHour = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(1);
var nextHourPosition = satellite.GetPosition(nextHour);

Getting satellite positions periodically

This package contains a Trigger class to help you update satellite positions every second.

var trigger = new Trigger(() => {
	var updatedPosition = satellite.GetPosition();
	
	// Do something with the updated position
	...
});
