THE COMMON INFRASTRUCTURE LAYER
See the ground segment.
Connect what’s possible.
Build what comes next.
An evidence-backed map of optical and RF infrastructure—connecting stations, terminals, spacecraft, providers, capabilities, and the sources behind every claim.
VALIDATED DATA · RELEASE 0.856 stations 27 terminals 17 accepted link events
SEE. CONNECT. BUILD.
Shared visibility makes interoperability possible.
OGS Tracker models infrastructure once, then makes it usable as a map, a registry, a relationship graph, an evidence trail, and an open coordination surface.

Trust is a product surface.
The same source records now carry validated location quality, corrected endpoint identities, and narrowly scoped configuration history. Uncertainty stays visible instead of being flattened into false precision.

65 / 65Validation checks
56 locations, zero unknowns
Eleven previously unresolved points now have explicit precision classes backed by 17 source records; the other 45 retain their validated classification.
Uncertainty stays visible
Santiago, Ngari, Redu, and WASC remain deliberately broad. Their map areas describe public-evidence limits, not measurement error.
No invented exactness
No station point moved and no position is described as surveyed. Colocated station identities remain separate and individually selectable.

04 / REVIEW QUEUE
Evidence becomes a decision.
Community proposals and unresolved release candidates share one curator workspace, but remain different objects. Every outcome is stored separately from canonical release 0.8.
No proposals in this view.
Submit a contribution or choose another state to continue.
Assess terminal compatibility evidence
03 / COMPATIBILITY LENS
Ask what might work.
Never confuse it with proof.
Compare two uniquely identified endpoints, inspect what is actually documented, and see exactly why the result remains inconclusive. Demonstrated events stay visible as evidence—not as a substitute for a compatibility assessment.

UnknownWHY THIS IS INCONCLUSIVE
Some terminal-level evidence is now structured, but the pair is still missing or only partially documents these versioned inputs:
Ground Wavelength · partialSpace Wavelength · missingGround Pointing / acquisition · partialSpace Pointing / acquisition · partialGround Data rate / modulation · missingSpace Data rate / modulation · partialGround Protocol / coding · missingSpace Protocol / coding · missing
No event is recorded for this exact pair. A shared medium is still not enough to assert compatibility.

OGS Tracker common information model
06 / COMMON MODEL
The system beneath
the map.
Use the model to answer practical questions: what a record represents, where its identity begins and ends, how it connects, and what the evidence actually supports.
FOLLOW A RELATIONSHIP
Start with the question you have.
Each path preserves a different kind of truth. Select a node to inspect its identity boundary.

Where does technical capability live?
A geographic place hosts an operational system. The uniquely addressable Terminal is where communications capability belongs.
