Project Showcase Ultraviolet Spectrometer UVS Operations
summary
A web app for pre‑launch mission planning for the Europa Clipper UVS instrument (launch October 2024) that actually builds detector-region “cards,” computes binning and data rates, and exports CSVs for spacecraft timelines. Backend runs on CakePHP 5 with CakeDC Users; frontend uses FabricJS for detector canvases, VizTimeline for flyby planning, and calls IDL/python for spectral images and processing. It handles thousands of parameter sets, shares cards with Juice UVS, and works today though API linking and a Cake 4→5 database edge case remain on the backlog.
