Global Ground Station Database – 650 Satellite Ground Stations Mapped

Hi HN, I've been working on a project to address a challenge I faced in the space industry: finding reliable and comprehensive information about satellite ground stations. It often involved piecing together data from scattered sources, which was time-consuming and inefficient. So, I built the Global Ground Station Database (www.find-gs.com). It's a free, searchable directory of over 650 ground stations worldwide, with locations mapped and key details included. The database is built with [Python + React]. We're focused on data accuracy and completeness, and we're constantly adding new…

Global Ground Station Database – 650 Satellite Ground Stations Mapped launched on March 17, 2025 with 5 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

    I made a site where you can travel in space in your browser2022 · spaceinbrowser.com · ▲179

    I made this site using R3F (https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber), a React renderer for 3JS (https://threejs.org/). The celestial bodies are Three.JS meshes. I used loaders (namely 'useLoader' from R3F and 'GLTFLoader' from 3JS) to import 3D models, such as International Space Station. More on loading models in R3F: https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/tutorials/loading-mod... I've future plans for this side project. It would be great to hear from the HN community before diving into them. Enjoy! P.S: Getting an empty…

    Learn where countries are on the world map with Spaced Repetition2025 · map.koljapluemer.com · ▲217

    Hi HN, I made a web game to practice country locations a while ago and HN liked it, so I thought I'd post my updated version as well. As for how the game works and feels, I'd really recommend you checking it out for yourself, it's free, no signup, no ads. The tech stack is Vue + ts + Tailwind/Daisy for the looks. The learning algorithm is a slight modification of the ts version of FSRS. If you have anything to add, it's open source as well (https://github.com/koljapluemer/learn-worldmap), although not well documented yet. In the end it's just a little sideproject,…

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
