ITU SpaceExplorer

As communicated in the circular letter CR/489, the Bureau developed a new application aimed at enhancing the online exploration of orbital and radio characteristics of satellite systems and publication data related to space services.

Click the button below to access a pilot version of the application:

From SNL and SNS online to ITU SpaceExplorer

This new application is part of a systemic review of the BR Space Services data system access. It aims to merge and enhance the features included in the Space Network List “Reference publications” part of SNL online and in the Space Network System SNS online to query online data related to satellite frequency assignments in an easier manner.

This application allows users to explore online the active technical and regulatory data published in its BR IFIC (Space) and the history of the publications using dedicated filter criteria.

New with ITU SpaceExplorer

With ITU SpaceExplorer, users can follow the status of an Administration's satellite networks, monitor the latest publications of a BR IFIC (Space) or analyse orbit and spectrum occupancy.

For each satellite network or system, a dashboard is also available to explore in detail its identity, history, regulatory and operational status, as well as its technical data and review results and coordination requirements.

Users will be guided by messages and assistance in order to make learning this environment easier. The application is in English only at this stage. The experience of reading the information is recommended from a large enough screen for better visibility. The data is updated with each BR IFIC publication.

From pilot version to production version

Based on the results of the pilot and feedback gathered from the membership, the Bureau will further improve the system and put in place a production version of the application.

now contains:

Special Explorer on use of Article 4.4
In Dashboard of Non-GSO notices, card with orbital links
In Dashboard of notices, list of countries in the service areas

Pilot version 0.15.1 on 19 November 2023, now contains all major features of the Phase 1 of the project:

Networks Explorer:

- Search the SNS and BR IFIC Publication databases to select lists of filings for Space Network/system (Non-Plan and Plans), Earth Stations or Radio Astronomy Stations

- Dashboard view of data relating to a selected Space Network/system (Non-Plan and Plans), Earth Station or Radio Astronomy Station

Special Explorer for finding contact information for Administrations and Operators

Temporary Explorer is not yet activated.

My Space Explorer lets you save and share your queries and search environment

Query Builder to create your own search on SNS data

Pilot version 0.11.1 on 6 June 2023, now contains:

New Radio Astronomy Stations Lists Exploration with filters.
New QueryBuilder.
Improvements to handling of split, merge, suppressed notices.

Pilot version 0.10.4 on 7 March 2023, now contains:

Earth Stations Lists Exploration with filters.
Added filter on Non-GSO orbital parameters in Space Stations lists exploration.
On Dashboards for GSO Space Stations non-Plan, link to the PDF of antenna types in the Associated Stations Card.
User experience and performance improvements (formatting of frequencies, etc).

Pilot version 0.9.8 on 24 October 2022, contains access to data relating only to geostationary satellite networks in the non-planned bands. Pilot version 0.10.4 on 7 March 2023, now contains:

Filter on suppressed networks added in the Lists exploration.
On Dashboards, Coordination requirements and Due Diligence Information cards added.
The visual of frequencies is added on the Network Structure Navigation card.
Associated stations card includes Associated Space Stations.

Pilot version 0.9.4 on 30 June 2022, contains access to data relating only to geostationary satellite networks in the non-planned bands.

The “Networks Explorer" search with filters allows the selection of lists of active networks in SNS databases or BR IFIC publications database.
The individual dashboards of these networks show in cards format the identity of the network, its regulatory status, the list of publications, as well as the structure of the notice, the emissions characteristics and the associated earth stations characteristics.
“My Space Explorer" is available by sign in with a TIES user account.
