System Architecture - WIP

The Sky360.org system follows a modular architecture, allowing different components to communicate and work together seamlessly. The primary components of the system include:

1. Fisheye Camera: The fisheye camera captures a wide field of view, enabling a comprehensive observation of the skies.
2. Recorder: Designed to record raw data from sensors as well as situational awarness. Currently in developement for the fisheye camera.
3. OpenMCT: OpenMCT (Open Mission Control Technologies) is utilized on the client side for visualizing and analyzing the collected data in a user-friendly manner.

The modular architecture of Sky360.org allows for flexibility and scalability. Additional components can be added in future versions to enhance the system’s capabilities. The communication between the components is facilitated through ROS2, ensuring seamless integration and interoperability.
