If you're tracking #Artemis II, here are a couple of helpful resources:

@cdnspace The Artemis II Tracker is *amazing!*

(Except I'd prefer m/s rather than km/h...)

Fantastic, this website sciences the hell out of Artemis. Thank.you very much.

Thrilling. Just a scroll to find that trans lunar injection is 3hrs 33 minutes away. TLI

Thanks again to all who produced and publicised.

Great site!

Wonderful and super-informative real-time dashboard .
It puts NASA to shame! Ask them to sponsor it or feature it or promote it.

Very well appreciated by many who have seen it in my re-posts.

@kevinrns @cdnspace
Note that TLI is scheduled for T+25:00:00.
That will put it around 19:35 EDT (23:35 UTC).

@cdnspace Wow, nice! Thanks!

@cdnspace Amazing overview, thank you!

I have two questions:
1. What is the difference between "Altitude" and "Earth distance"? Is it sea-level distance to surface distance? I was wondering about the high difference between both values.

2. What is the reference system of the yaw/pitch/roll angles?

It would be very nice if someone could explain that to me.

[cdnspace@mstdn.ca]

@fauntleroy
Altitude = distance from Earth's surface (subtracts Earth's radius of 6,371 km)

Earth Distance = distance from Earth's center

We're pulling data directly from NASA through an API that isn't publicly documented, so the reference is likely of the orbital body they're currently subject to, which is and will always be Earth as Artemis II is on a free return.

If they were to capture around the Moon, this might be more complicated.

We're interpreting this data the best we can and we feel we've been doing a pretty damn good job.

[fauntleroy@osna.social]

@cdnspace Thank you!

Looking at your tracker, I would say you're doing a fantastic job! It's really great to see all this detailed information in one place.

[cdnspace@mstdn.ca]

@fauntleroy we're pulling data directly from an unpublished data source thanks to friends down at NASA JSC.

We are exposing an API for folks that want to us it, but we ask that anyone interested in this API to DM us before we give them the link. We're being careful as we only have so many server resources for this aggregated telemetry.

[cdnspace@mstdn.ca]

We've updated the tracker with a lot of features, including real-time telemetry from #Artemis II.

This is now the most robust Orion tracker available.

If you have a SeeStar/Vaonis/DWARFLABS telecope, you can connect it directly to track Orion. If not, https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/track will help you out otherwise.

There is a public API if you are working on something cool and want data: https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/api-docs

If you have feedback, please let us know.
