SmartNode is a satellite relay simulation platform for space-based data backhaul, combining a Flask REST API backend with a Vue 3 frontend that visualizes satellite constellations on a Cesium 3D globe. It simulates LEO/MEO/GEO satellites, ground stations, and relay links, processing data transmission requests with configurable QoS, security, and value profiles. The backend implements orbital propagation (SGP4/TLE, Keplerian elements), ITU-R link budget models (rain attenuation, gaseous absorption, laser ISL), and scheduling strategies (GreedyMaxRate, QoS-aware admission control, handover with hysteresis). Results are persisted in SQLite and an append-only event log, with real-time updates pushed via SSE. The platform includes a full observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), containerized deployment, and extensive testing (unit, integration, property-based, golden regression, load). While primarily an application, it incorporates significant data/research components in orbital mechanics, communications, and scheduling algorithms, making it a hybrid but application-dominant project.

The LLM identified 6 files worth highlighting for reuse:

Implements a sliding window rate limiter with zero external dependencies, supporting per-client and global limits. Uses a fixed-size deque of timestamps for O(1) window decimation and provides a decorator and class-based interface. Easily extractable for any Flask or WSGI application.

file: backend/ratelimit.py ↗ | tags: #rate-limiting #sliding-window

Standardizes all API responses into a consistent envelope with fields: code, data, message, request_id, and timestamp. Includes a helper function to generate success/error envelopes and handles traceback capture for internal errors. Can be reused in any REST API to enforce a uniform response format.

file: backend/envelope.py ↗ | tags: #api-response #envelope-pattern

Provides a unified error handling mechanism for the Flask app, including custom exception classes, a global error handler, and sanitization of error messages to avoid leaking internal details. Supports structured logging and different error levels. Independently usable in any Flask project.

file: backend/errors.py ↗ | tags: #error-handling #sanitization

Implements satellite link budget calculations following ITU-R recommendations (P.838, P.618) for rain attenuation, gaseous absorption, and free-space path loss. Includes modulation selection based on Eb/N0 thresholds, C/N0 calculation, and Shannon capacity. Self-contained module that can be extracted for any satellite communications simulation.

file: backend/comms/link_budget.py ↗ | tags: #link-budget #itu-r #satellite

Implements a handover controller for satellite link switching with hysteresis thresholds, minimum dwell time, and cooldown periods. Uses a state machine pattern to avoid ping-pong effects. Contains configurable parameters and a clean interface for integration into any scheduling system.

file: backend/scheduling/handover.py ↗ | tags: #handover #hysteresis #scheduling

A Vue 3 composable that manages light/dark theme toggling with CSS custom properties, persistent storage in localStorage, and reactive binding. Provides a simple toggle function and a computed isDark property. Can be extracted directly into any Vue 3 project for theme switching.
