 3.1.1. Establish SatHub

The main components of SatHub are Astronomical Data Repositories, an Orbital Solution Portal, Software Tools, a Training Curriculum, and support for Real-Time Collaboration. Each of these encompasses several critical modules — everything from queryable image databases to a developer guide for software contributors, to quick start recipes for observers equipped with various hardware, to a mechanism for submitting requests to observe satellites in a particular way. The Observations WG Report focuses on Astronomical Data Repositories, a Training Curriculum, and the Orbital Solution Portal, and we defer to the Algorithms WG Report and future IAU Centre for Software Tools and Real-Time Collaboration, respectively. SatHub components and organization are shown in the figure below.
