Implementation of software microservices for the design and development of a satellite detection and monitoring system as proof of concept.semestre de industria

ABSTRACT : This report presents the development of the author's internship that took place in Groundspace, a start-up located in Montpellier, France. This project focuses on the implementation of software microservices into Satmon, an upcoming on-development product designed to provide assistance to satellite operators against interference problems resulting from the coexistence of multiple satellite constellations, and to assure operational regulations compliance. The applied methodology for the software development was based around the GitLab suite an VSCode code editor, that allows to have a collaborative development workspace for task management, code review, and deployment. All microservices developed utilizes Python as the main programming language, and Skyfield and Astral packages for orbital position computations. The sky scan was the main developed feature, which performs a "blind" scan for a specified observation window to verify anomalous transmission activity and compliance of registered systems. Although challenges were encountered, including the Starwin antenna's lack of manual beam control, hardware constraints and initial setup issues; the prototype successfully detected GEO and LEO satellites and achieved software-hardware synchronization, with ongoing improvements expected to enhance functionality and user experience. The project anticipates future developments and a presentation at the International Astronautical Congress 2025 in Sydney, Australia.
