mvn_flight

This project contains tools for decoding, converting, and visualizing telemetry data from the MVN. It includes utilities for unpacking binary archives, converting them to CSV, and generating plots for selected time intervals.

Note 1: <PATH_TO_MVN_FLIGHT> - path where is mvn_flight scripts is cloned from heagit
Note 2: <PATH_TO_ASOTR_DATA> - path with raw MVN ASOTR data
Note 3: <PATH_TO_MVN_DATA> - path with raw MVN data

Project structure

-> /bin/ - ready-to-use binary files and python scripts for assembling, extracting and plotting telemetry data
--> /bin/asotr_unzip_plot.sh or /bin/asotr_unzip_plot.bat — scripts to automate the unpack-convert-plot chain for Linux/Windows.
--> /bin/plot_flight_borders.py — Python script to generate plots from CSV data.
-> /asotr_csv/ — binary parser to collect data from raw ASOTR data to CSV. This parser written using the Rust language. For more informatin see documentation in /asotr_csv/README.markdown).
-> /data/ — folder containing processed CSV files.
-> /plots/ — folder where output plots are saved.

Requirements

• Python version 3.10 or upper. For checking type:

python3 --version

Python dependencies:

pip install matplotlib pandas

• Rust compiler version 1.83.0 or upper. For checking type:

rustc --version

Additional tools (Linux only):

sudo apt install unzip git

Linux Setup

1. Clone the repo to your computer:

git clone http://heagit.cosmos.ru/gamkov/mvn_flight.git

2. Install python and python libraries (if you don't have):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
pip3 install matplotlib pandas

1. Install Rust compiler (if you do not have):

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Windows 10 Setup

1. Clone the repo to your computer:

git clone http://heagit.cosmos.ru/gamkov/mvn_flight.git

2. Install Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/

3. Open CMD and install python dependencies:

pip install matplotlib pandas

4. Install Rust compiler (if you do not have):
   Go to address https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install and follow instructions
   For more detailed information you can go to: https://doc.rust-lang.ru/book/ch01-01-installation.html

Using the tools

Plot all ASOTR data

1. Donwload data from science data server to directory <PATH_TO_ASOTR_DATA>.
   If you don't have MVN data, you might download it from server with science SRG data (IP: 193.232.11.95).
   For questions about downloading science data contact Shtykovsky A. (a.shtykovsky@cosmos.ru) or Chelovekov I. (chelovekov@cosmos.ru)

2. Parse all raw data from ASOTR into csv files and plot all csv data:

Linux:

./bin/asotr_unzip_plot.sh <PATH_TO_ASOTR_DATA>/

Windows:

.\bin\asotr_unzip_plot.bat <PATH_TO_ASOTR_DATA>\

csv data will be in directory:

./data/asotr/  

Plot ASOTR data in specified date borders (for MVN reports)

1-2. See previous chapter (Plot all ASOTR data)

3. plot ASOTR data in specified data borders

Linux:

./bin/plot_flight_borders.sh ../data/asotr/ 10.03.2025_00:00:00 23.04.2025_23:59:59

Windows:

.\bin\plot_flight_borders.bat ..\data\asotr\ 10.03.2025_00:00:00 23.04.2025_23:59:59

where:
10.03.2025_00:00:00 - start date_time
23.04.2025_23:59:59 - end date_time

plots with data are in the directory:

/plots/reports
