Satellites and Constellations
project 8% complete

This project will deal with satellites, space junk, existing constellations, and new, more temporal constellations. A part of this is trying to get people to realize just how different the night sky is now than it was even 50 years ago. Part will be re-designing the satellite tracking software interface. The fun part of this project will be coming up with the new constellations, a phase that my younger brother Jeff Brown will be helping me with.
