  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • Open MCT

    A web based mission control framework.

    The initial demo walkthrough prompts are done well. The responsiveness is impressive especially considering FF on iOS — all but object moves and resizes and widening the left rail works well.

    The docs for adding providers and sources, e.g., are involved at a glance, but very cool NASA’s made this available.

  • celestiary

    Astronomical simulator of solar system and local stars

    Hmm, the demo has a little "live video" window of a rover's view from the Moon's surface. This seems like a good integration point for a web-based space simulator. I will be doing just this!

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.

    🛰️🚀A list of awesome space-related packages and resources maintained by The Orbital Index

    OpenMCT is solid. We have a bunch of open source space-related software listed in Awesome Space: https://github.com/orbitalindex/awesome-space

  • yamcs

    A framework for mission control

    OpenMCT is great if ALL you want is to do is look at Telemetry. But good luck if you want to send a commamd to a vehicle. I think YAMCS is much better solution: https://github.com/yamcs/yamcs

    Yamcs has got a builder for displays, client APIs, etc. Almost everything you'll ever need.
