The other day I googled "Where is Artemis" expecting to find a tracker showing me the position, but instead getting results from news articles without live data. I eventually found the NASA tracker (https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/) and https://artemislivetracker.com/, but neither is optimized for mobile and frankly I found them both underwhelming.

The domain (whereisartemis.com) was available and I thought "someone should use that", bought the domain and got started. Hopefully, this is something that can be extended for future Artemis missions and help build engagement for the Artemis program and space travel in general :)

The tracker includes: - Real-time 3D scene with toggleable camera views (top-down or free orbit), - Live telemetry: Distance from Earth/Moon, current speed etc. - Live video from NASA - Mission schedule with countdowns to upcoming events (lunar flyby, splashdown, etc.) - Mission coverage with links to NASA articles - Mobile and desktop support

How it works under the hood:

- Live position and trajectory data is pulled directly from the NASA/JPL Horizons API. - Built with Next.js, React Three Fiber/ThreeJS, and Tailwind CSS.
