Abstract
Method, electronic device, system, and computer-readable medium embodiments are disclosed. Some embodiments include a signal processing workflow incorporating a graphical user interface for displaying orbital information for satellites and other spacecraft. In some embodiments, a generative adversarial network (GAN) is employed for evaluating satellite orbital positions, for predicting future orbital movements, for detecting orbital maneuvers of a satellite, and for analyzing such maneuvers for potential nefarious intent.
