Open tools · simulations · knowledge
A home for space projects built in the open — from tracking the objects above us, to the physics of how stars are born, to simulations you can run in your browser.
The projects
Each is a standalone tool. Pick one to launch it.
Track what's overhead. Orbital propagation, pass prediction, and catalog visualization built on public two-line element data — a sovereign view of the objects sharing our skies.
Planetary defense. Track near-Earth asteroids and their close approaches with live NASA data — impact-hazard scales (Torino, Palermo), time acceleration, and local observability by city, all in an OODA situational frame.
How stars and their disks are born. An interactive, physics-first walkthrough — the Jeans criterion, free-fall collapse, infrared disk detection, and the nebular theory of the Solar System.
How other worlds are made. An interactive, bilingual walkthrough of exoplanet formation — the frost line, core accretion and migration, the transit method and the habitable zone — with simulators, games, challenges and real examples.
Play with the physics. Orbital mechanics, transfer manoeuvres, and n-body trajectories you can run, pause, and tweak directly in the browser — no install, no math anxiety.
The mechanics of getting there. Rocket propulsion and orbital dynamics from first principles — the rocket equation, staging, vis-viva, Kepler's laws — with live calculators and the real orbits of every planet, moon and satellite regime.
The rules above us. An interactive reference to the law of outer space — the five UN treaties and the Artemis Accords — for agencies, policymakers and operators who need the framework clear and concrete.
Securing the space mission. An interactive, bilingual reference to space cyber risk — the attack surface by segment, jamming and spoofing, the CIA+A model, and the controls and frameworks that protect a mission — with games, challenges and drill-down detail.
From Sputnik to New Space. An interactive, bilingual history of leaving Earth — the milestone timeline, rockets drawn to scale, the people who made it happen, and the New Space era explained in detail — with anecdotes, games and challenges.
Eyes on the planet and the Sun. Georeferenced satellite imagery over any country or city — NOAA's GOES, NASA's MODIS and VIIRS, Esri and Sentinel-2 — with a compare/blend layer, NOAA's animation loop, environmental layers for fires, sea-surface temperature, aerosols and precipitation, and real-time space weather from NOAA's SWPC.

About
newspace.live gathers practical tools and clear explanations in one place — for analysts, students, and the simply curious. The aim is the same across every project: take something that usually lives behind specialist software and make it legible, hands-on, and yours.

Know what's above you. Public orbital data, propagated and visualized so anyone can build situational awareness.
The physics behind the headlines — collapse, fusion, disks, planets — explained interactively from first principles.
Run the equations yourself. Simulations that turn orbital mechanics into something you can feel, not just read.
Know the rules above us. The treaties and accords that shape what every actor in space may and may not do.
