ORBITAL is an interactive 3D planetary-defense simulator that visualizes the solar system, tracks real NASA Near-Earth Object data, and lets users explore simplified asteroid-deflection scenarios through an interactive Defense Lab.
ORBITAL — First Milestone 🚀
Today I connected ORBITAL to real NASA NEO data and built the core 3D solar-system visualization with React and Three.js.
I also added the Defense Lab, set up GitHub and Hackatime, and successfully built the project for deployment.
Next, I’m working on a better NASA asteroid dashboard and improving the planetary-defense simulation.
