Overview
A near-Earth object monitoring dashboard and collision-risk engine that combines NASA NeoWs telemetry with cached API responses and custom physics-based scoring.
Impact
Custom physics-based risk engine with Torino scale approximation, Redis-cached telemetry
Key Features
- Built a FastAPI backend that normalizes NASA NeoWs asteroid telemetry for dashboard consumption
- Added Redis caching to reduce repeated external API calls and keep the UI responsive
- Implemented a custom risk engine using velocity, miss distance, size estimates, and Torino-style approximation
- Presented risk data in a scan-friendly dashboard focused on monitoring and prioritization
