SkyLens integrates CelesTrak positions with 334 PURSUE files from war.gov

The platform combines continuous orbital data pulls from CelesTrak with four sequential PURSUE releases containing 162, 64, 72, and 40 files respectively. Each file links directly to war.gov, DVIDS, and AARO primary records. Filters allow selection by operator, orbit class, and mission type while rendering ISS, Starlink shells, GPS constellations, and debris in real time against a day-night terminator.

CelesTrak supplies the underlying TLE sets for thousands of objects. NASA CNEOS and JPL SBDB feeds add near-Earth asteroid trajectories with miss-distance and velocity metrics. PURSUE Release 02 includes an F-16 engagement case and Release 03 references the 2023 Western US AARO event, providing the first public aggregation of these specific military sensor packages.

The integration exposes sensor limits: optical and radar tracks remain sparse below 400 km and above geostationary belt. Historical cross-references to 1948 Project Sign and 1996 STS-80 footage sit beside current Starlink deployment counts, revealing persistent gaps between catalogued objects and reported UAP kinematics.

Next steps include scheduled addition of ESA DISCOS debris data and expanded orbital-element export APIs. Daily user-submitted sighting logs will be cross-checked against public TLEs within 24 hours of submission.
