Beacon is an open-source platform designed for near-Earth object data analysis. It
aggregates datasets from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and ESA's observations. Users
can compare orbital parameters and impact risk assessments across agencies. The project is
hosted on GitHub under the NovaCoding-G organization. Beacon provides visualization tools
and a unified API for querying NEO records. Researchers can leverage the platform to
validate and cross-check data sources. The codebase is licensed for public contribution
and collaborative improvement. Ongoing development aims to expand support for additional
space data repositories.
