The sky's own schedule joins the orchestra. Unlike world_iss (which begs a web API per position), world_sats fetches TLEs once from Celestrak — the stations plus the named recon birds GAOFEN and COSMOS — caches them to ~/.cache/godverse/tles.txt (24 h freshness, atomic writes, stale-on-failure), and propagates every craft locally with SGP4 at any rate, no per-fix HTTP. For the venue city (--lat/--lon, retargeted by run.py) it computes each craft's elevation above the horizon and emits: /gs/sats/best_elev highest elevation among all tracked (-30..90 deg) /gs/sats/overhead_count how many above 10 deg /gs/sats/iss_lat/iss_lon ISS sweep (available even without world_iss) /gs/sats/recon_elev best elevation among only the GAOFEN/COSMOS watchers /gs/sats/pass.event impulse when any craft crosses rising through 30 deg Wiring: config.json declares the six signals with norm ranges + labels, three starter routes (best_elev -> pad.brightness, pass -> delay.feedback, recon_elev -> lfo.rate) and adds sats.best_elev to the cosmos group; run.py adds the worker to the WORLD profile and the lat/lon retarget set; requirements notes the pure-python sgp4 dep. The worker is import-safe (sits out if sgp4 is absent) and exits politely with no cache and no network. Grimoire + manual entry added. Math ported from GODSIGH's verified satellites layer: TLE -> Satrec.twoline2rv (handles no_kozai), SGP4 -> TEME km, GMST rotation -> WGS-84 geodetic, then an ECEF up-vector for elevation. Verified end-to-end against live Celestrak data: 98 sats tracked, ISS position/altitude plausible, and all signals arrive over the hub WebSocket correctly normalized with their routes active.

"""world_sats.py — the sky's own schedule, as control signals (SGP4, no polling APIs).
|
|
|
|
Real satellites, propagated locally. TLEs (two-line element sets) are fetched once
|
|
from Celestrak and cached; from them SGP4 gives *any* satellite's position at *any*
|
|
rate with no per-fix HTTP — the opposite of world_iss.py, which begs a web API for
|
|
every point. We track the space stations plus a few named recon birds (GAOFEN,
|
|
COSMOS), turn each into a lat/lon/altitude, and derive its **elevation above the
|
|
venue city's horizon** — so "something is passing overhead" becomes a continuous,
|
|
playable signal, and a recon satellite cresting the sky rings a bell.
|
|
|
|
Emits (raw floats; the hub normalizes):
|
|
/gs/sats/best_elev highest elevation among tracked sats, degrees (can be < 0)
|
|
/gs/sats/overhead_count how many are above 10 degrees right now
|
|
/gs/sats/iss_lat ISS geodetic latitude (the sweep, even without world_iss)
|
|
/gs/sats/iss_lon ISS geodetic longitude
|
|
/gs/sats/pass.event impulse (magnitude = elevation) when any sat crosses
|
|
rising through 30 degrees — a pass begins
|
|
/gs/sats/recon_elev best elevation among the GAOFEN/COSMOS set only
|
|
|
|
Depends on `sgp4` (pure-python, `pip install sgp4`). Import-safe: if it is missing,
|
|
or there is no cached TLE and no network, the worker prints why and exits cleanly.
