Overview Oceanit

HANDS High Accuracy Network Determination System

Data representing problem

Solution Defining Designing Implementing

OceanitInnovation through engineering & science excellence

Aerospace Consulting Engineering Life Sciences Information Technology

HANDSHigh Accuracy Network Determination System

Worldwide network of ground optical stations

Identify, track, and characterize

objects in space

Air Force Research Lab

Problem Enormous amount of information

Constant stream of data

Meaningful structure

Current representation of the data is not familiar to the end user

Data representation

Solution

Solution

- Add new features to anexisting application

- Create a new applicationthat contains the required features

Celestia Open Source

Software Application Stand alone

application Not well maintained

Define New Application

Requirements 2 Dimensional data representation Real-time updates Dynamic data rescaling Multiple series Interactive application Clear structure of the application

Why C#

Safer than predecessors Fast data management Flexible Automatic memory management Good for interactive applications C++ evolution

C#

Design & Implementation

Design phase Object oriented Code Structure

- Hierarchical

Easy to understand Grounds of the project
