Grafana in Space: Monitoring Japan's SLIM Moon Lander in Real Time
summary
Japan lands SLIM on the Moon on January 19, 2024 with a pinpoint within 100 meters accuracy, and the operations team streams the same Grafana screens to the control room and YouTube. The realtime stack uses InfluxDB, a Python receive/register module wrapping C comms libraries, and Grafana variables to drive 10+ dashboards (power, navigation, heaters, thrusters). SLIM has two main thrusters plus 12 small ones, 50 heaters whose duty cycles are tracked, and the system proves lightweight to build and effective for the successful soft landing.
