Project Kessler-X is an autonomous, high-performance orbital mechanics tracking and collision-prediction system. The project is designed to monitor Low Earth Orbit (LEO) space debris and predict cascading collision events—conceptually mitigating the "Kessler Syndrome" scenario where orbital debris render space travel impossible.
Devlog 1 - 6/16/2026
hi ppl! this is my first devlog of project kessler, essentially, project kessler is… WAIT! before i tell you, i want you to imagine the scenario below ⬇️
‘Imagine low Earth orbit (where the International Space Station and thousands of satellites live) getting incredibly crowded. If two large satellites collide, they don’t just stop working; they shatter into thousands of tiny, razor-sharp pieces of space junk traveling at over 17,500 miles per hour.’
sounds terrible right? project kessler is a collision avoidance and trajectory predictor for those low and high orbit objects so we dont have another iridum or cosmos collision event in space (here is source for those 2 events if your curious: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20100002023)
to get back to the point of my devlog, so far i have extracted satellite epoch positional data from CelesTrak and am currently working on a data fetcher to get the most accurate data for my project as i will have to train a machine learning data model on that data to make predictions and yeah thats lwk it for todays devlog, feel free to follow if this topic interests you!
till the next time, onward.
