At the Tokyo International Space Apps Challenge, one member produced
some fairly good animated graphics via the Google Earth API. I have
yet to rake all of my team's contributions into the repo, I have been
too busy with work and family issues recently to explore how
SpriteOrbits might be used in KickSat mission support when the Sprites
are released (tomorrow, as I write this.) But the current
ground-station efforts might produce enough positional and lifetime
data (albeit fuzzy) to check Orekit's predictions against what
actually happened. But there's potential here for SOCIS projects, I
think.

Hi all,
ESA has announced on 2014-05-01 the list of open-source projects selected
for its Summer Of Code In Space (SOCIS) 2014. We are very happy that our
project has been selected this year, as it was selected previous years. The
complete list of selected projects is available here:
<http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2014/?q=node/13>.
Students who are studying in one of the ESA member state can apply to the
SOCIS projects. Our own list of ideas is here:
<https://www.orekit.org/forge/projects/orekit/wiki/SOCIS>. If you are
interested, look at the SOCIS site to see the conditions for application. If
you want to apply to one of the Orekit proposed subjects (or if you have
another subject you want to propose us), feel free to use our developers
mailing lists (see our mailing lists page for subscribing to the list).
best regards,
Luc, on behalf of the Orekit team
