🌌 SpaceOps Satellite Operations MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects LLM agents to live and simulated satellite subsystems, NOAA space weather telemetry (solar flares and geomagnetic storms), and space debris orbital conjunction analysis.

🧰 Available MCP Tools

This server exposes 3 tools over standard I/O (stdio) transport:

1. get_satellite_telemetry

Retrieves telemetry metrics (altitude, velocity, battery status, solar panel voltage, payload instrument health) for a specific satellite.

• Parameters:

  • name (string, required): Satellite name (e.g., "CARTOSAT-3", "NISAR", "INSAT-3DR").

2. get_space_weather

Queries NOAA SWPC for active solar radiation storm scale, radio blackouts index, and geomagnetic storm advisories.

3. calculate_orbit_conjunction

Evaluates distance proximity between a satellite orbit and trackable space debris telemetry coordinates.

• Parameters:

  • satellite_name (string, required): Target satellite name.

  • debris_lat (float, required): Debris latitude.

  • debris_lon (float, required): Debris longitude.

  • debris_alt (float, required): Debris altitude in km.
