# WebGl Elektro-L Tracker app

![Main page](demo/main.png?raw=true)

This project is dedicated to the three launched satellites manufactured by [NPO Lavochkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavochkin):

- [Elektro-L No.1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektro-L_No.1)

- [Elektro-L No.2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektro-L_No.2)

- [Spektr-R](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spektr-R)

You could see satellites position in real-time or travel back and forth in time.

Here is comparing between rendered and real image made on 2011-03-18.

> I don't have permission to use the actual Elektro-L model, so instead the demo uses Aqua model as Elektro-L

and Jason-1 model as Spektr-R.

## Demo

## Acknowledgments

I'd like to thank three.js team, Sean O'Neil for creating beautiful atmospheric scattering shaders

and James Baicoianu for porting shaders for use with three.js, Vadim Chazov for algorithms to calculate Sun and Moon

positions, NASA for amazing images, textures and 3D models, Steve Albers for stunning hi-res Moon texture.
