It seems to me that improvements to SpriteOrbits
https://github.com/ProjectPersephone/SpriteOrbits
could fit under two of the categories you submitted for SOCIS.
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.
