“Satellite Management and Systems”

MANEET GUPTA
Roll Number:
In the modern era of Space exploration, the need of Satellite
management systems has increased by many-folds.
In order to fulfill the needs of growing humanity, I have
handcrafted a satellite management system in PYTHON,
which can store data smartly and can even make you
visualize the satellites in orbit.
A satellite is a man-made object inserted by rockets in
elliptical/spherical earth orbits to enhance inter-countries
connectivity, data transmission and Geo-Location.
 Once Upon a time in a PYTHON OUTPUT WINDOW….
Database sample:

Execution:

The code starts with greeting and options to interact with

the database.
User has to enter choice number index to perform specific
task.
1. Filter and show database
2. Add entry to database
3. Update satellite details
4. Imagine the satellites
5. CLOSE
6. SHOW
def filter():
print("Filter parameter: index")
print(" Sattelite name: 1 || company: 2 || date of
launch: 3 || Mission Status :4")
change = input("enter parameter index you want to filter
with and the value seprated by space: ")
b = change.split()

dump = []
for i in master:
if (i[int(b[0])] == b[1]):
dump.append(i)
return dump

~ by choosing 1 in main menu, the user can filter the database to

show records with same attributes
~ for example, I want to filter the satellites which are “ACTIVE”
in orbit.
def add():
try:
a = datetime.datetime.now(pytz.timezone('Asia/Kolkata'))
n = int(input("Enter the number of entries you wish to enter: "))
for i in range(n):
a1 = input("Enter Sattelite ID: ")
a2 = input("Enter Sattelite Name: ")
a3 = input("Enter Sattelite Company: ")
a4 = input("Enter Sattelite Date of launch in yyyymmdd: ")
a5 = input("Enter Mission Status: ")
y = datetime.datetime.now(pytz.timezone('Asia/Kolkata'))
x = datetime.date(int(a4[:4]), int(a4[4:6]), int(a4[6:8]))
a6 = y.date() - x
z = (a4[6:8]) + "-" + (a4[4:6]) + "-" + (a4[:4])
lst = [a1, a2, a3, z, a5, a6.__str__()]
master.append(lst)
if n != 1:
print("Entry ",i+1, " Successful")
error = 0
t = (master,error)
print("Congractulations, Entry ADDED succesfully!!!!")
return t
except:
print("TRY AGAIN")
 let’s suppose I have to add two new records of newly launched
missions then the system output would look like:

If by mistake some entry is given in wrong datatype then the

code will break and returns to main menu
def update():
try:
satidd = input("enter sattelite id you want to change:
")
print("Change parameter: index")
print(" Sattelite name: 1 || company: 2 || date of
launch: 3 || Mission Status :4")
change = input("enter parameter index you want to
change and new value seperated by space: ")
b = change.split()

for i in master:
if (i[0] == satidd):
i[int(b[0])] = b[1]
print("Your data has been updated")
except:
print("TRY AGAIN")
 Lets suppose I have to update the status of satellite of index
A01: Chandrayaan from ACTIVE to FINISHED, then the update
dialogue would look like:

If by mistake user entered any unwanted registry or in any other

format then the code would break and return to main menu

c = speed[i] + 0.1
speed[i] = c
a.setpos(rad[i] * math.sin(c), rad[i] * math.cos(c))
a.pendown()
Using the power of python and turtle, we can animate satellites to
depict them around our planet earth.

print("Date: ", a.date())
print("time", a.time())

describe function is used to show the data base in tabular form.

Finally, we can close, save the file and exit the code using option
5
Using python and turtle I have created a nomial database visualiser.

• The data is stored in form of binary in binary file name “file.dat”

and the master table is retrieved and stored in same.
• I have used functions to have accessible codes wherever I would
ned them
• I have used try-except statements to errorproof the entry mistakes
• I have used control statements in most of the programs.

import pickle #used for handling binary files

import datetime # used to retrieve date and time from computer
import pytz # used to retrieve date and time in time zone
import math # used for mathematic functions like sin, cos
import turtle # used for turtle graphics
