Space Data Server

Overview

Space Data Server is a proprietary software package offered by DigitalArsenal.io, Inc. It allows integrators to buildSpaceDataStandards.Org into their server workflows.

The SDS acts as a "waypoint" for ingestion / data services, allowing integrators to ingest data from any source (ex., Celestrak OMM).

The current build is powering api.spaceaware.io, and is serving satellite catalog and conjunction data.
