I’ve been working on Guardi.space, a lightweight web tool for monitoring satellite collision risks — mainly focused on CubeSats and small constellations.

What it does: - Uses public TLEs and SGP4 to predict potential conjunctions - Forecasts 14 days ahead, updated every 6h - Computes closest approach, relative velocity, and assigns risk levels - Includes a simple dashboard UI for browsing upcoming events

Tech: - Backend: Python (FastAPI), PostgreSQL - Frontend: React - Risk estimation includes basic covariance analysis (Chan/Alfano-based)

It’s open to use, no sign up or CC required — would appreciate any feedback on usability, data clarity, or edge cases I might have missed.
