# Welcome to Polaris's documentation! **Polaris** is an open source (LGPLv3) project that analyzes satellite telemetry using machine learning. It is a project of the Libre Space Foundation. **Want to get started quickly?** Have a look at [Getting started with Polaris](using/getting_started_with_polaris). Polaris has a number of different commands: - `polaris fetch` will download and normalize satellite telemetry from the SatNOGS network (or you can import your own). - `polaris learn` will analyze the telemetry, produce a model of the connections between telemetry components, and save a dependency graph for visualization. - `polaris viz` is an interactive, browser-based 3D visualization of that dependency graph. - `polaris convert` will convert graph output from `polaris learn` to another file format (like `.gexf`). * For more details about how Polaris works, see [Overview](Overview), or watch our presentation at the [2020 Cubesat Developer's Workshop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp7GuA_zjlA). * Would you like to join the community? We'd love to get to know you! [Join our chat room here](https://app.element.io/#/room/#polaris:matrix.org) and introduce yourself. * If you'd like to work with us through the Google Summer of Code, have a look at [our notes for GSoC applicants](https://gitlab.com/librespacefoundation/polaris/polaris/-/wikis/Notes-for-Summer-of-Code-applicants). * For other presentations on Polaris, see [Presentations on Polaris: Past and Future](https://gitlab.com/librespacefoundation/polaris/polaris/-/wikis/Presentations-on-Polaris:-Past-and-Future). ## Site contents ```{toctree} --- maxdepth: 1 caption: Quick start --- What's a satellite? ``` ```{toctree} --- maxdepth: 1 caption: Overview --- overview.md ``` ```{toctree} --- maxdepth: 1 caption: Contributing --- Gitlab repo Chat ```
