I love OpenMCT, in 2021 I wrote some crypto DeFi arb trading bots (just doing realtime graph constructions and then bellman ford, then a hill-climbing amount optimiser and gas estimator and transaction obfuscator to help avoid sniping)<p>I modified OpenMCT to be the GUI for this, which showed the profitable trading paths through the graph in realtime.<p>I emailed NASA to ask if they could put my thumbs up, mugshot on their users page next to all of the satellites and Mars missions, they said they couldn’t because my project was a for profit enterprise, but I totally think they just didn’t want my (insane) mugshot there XD

They even have a plugin to get Kerbal Space Program telemetry[1]! Could be useful I guess if you want to play without the HUD on one screen and have all the mission info on a second screen.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hudsonfoo&#x2F;kerbal-openmct">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hudsonfoo&#x2F;kerbal-openmct</a>

Even Max Verstappen uses it (albeit indirectly):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nasa&#x2F;openmct&#x2F;discussions&#x2F;6392">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nasa&#x2F;openmct&#x2F;discussions&#x2F;6392</a>

I recently came across some UX work from the US Space Force that covers this type of Mission Contol software. I wonder how much overlap there is.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.astrouxds.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.astrouxds.com&#x2F;</a>

Do y&#x27;all think this would be a good fit for a home automation&#x2F;light duty SCADA?<p>I recently eliminated the custom themable fork of Freeboard from my app, this seems like a good replacement, except that it seems pretty focused on display without a lot of input capabilities.

why would you do that in a single threaded language like nodejs?<p>seems like an awful decision

How does it compare to Grafana?

Cue the npm supply chain attacks to pwn nuclear powered spacecraft.

Coming soon to a Mars mission [1] near you: unscheduled disassembly due to faulty mission control input when someone forgets to include a variable in the dependencies list of a `useCallback` hook.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mars_Climate_Orbiter" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mars_Climate_Orbiter</a>
