Aerostratospheric Defense GIR

A plain-language guide to our open Geospatial Information Repository

Daily automation License: MIT Open data only SAM.gov Charts Reports Contributing

In one sentence: We automatically collect free, public map and hazard information, organize it, and save dated copies here — without secret military data.

Live web page: Defense GIR on midwestsds.com · Charts: docs/charts/ · Status JSON: data/status/ · Latest report: reports/latest.md · Data packages: docs/DATA_PACKAGES.md


What is this, in plain English?

Imagine you need a shared notebook of public facts about the world—storms that were already warned about, earthquakes that already happened, free satellite “library cards,” public cyber patch lists, and open research balloon flight summaries. You do not want secrets. You want something you can audit, re-run, and explain to a non-specialist.

That notebook is this repository.

GIR means Geospatial Information Repository: place-based information stored in an organized library. Software here downloads free public feeds on a schedule, checks whether the download worked, keeps a short history in git, draws simple charts, publishes a US open-status summary for the website banner, and writes a daily executive summary. Partner or restricted sensor products from Aerostratospheric platforms (when fielded) stay out of this public tree on purpose.

Think of it as the weather-and-world briefing binder that sits beside more sensitive tools—not the classified mission folder, not a weapons system, and not a substitute for official emergency alerts on your phone.

Word Everyday meaning
Geospatial Facts tied to a place on Earth
Information Measurements and events (quakes, alerts, satellite catalogs, public cyber lists, flight log summaries, …)
Repository An organized digital filing cabinet with history

Daily data packages

Every successful automation run produces a coherent open-tier package:

Area Location
Manifest (ok/total per source) data/manifests/manifest_latest.json
UOGW anomalies data/anomalies/
Hazards (EONET, USGS, NWS, DONKI) data/events/
Sentinel-2 STAC index data/imagery_index/
Defense-open samples (CISA KEV, OpenSky, OurAirports, …) data/defense_open/
US open-status banner data/status/
Charts (SVG + Mermaid) docs/charts/, docs/GRAPHS.md
Executive summary reports/daily/, reports/latest.md

Full map: docs/DATA_PACKAGES.md · Feature catalog: docs/FEATURES.md


How it is used (sample use cases)

These examples are open-tier only. They describe realistic ways people and programs use this kind of public data—not targeting, not classified operations.

1. Morning open briefing for a small research team

A Midwest balloon or environmental team opens the GIR web page, checks the US open status strip (GREEN/YELLOW/…), skims the latest exec report, and notes whether any public research flight is marked active in the flight log.

2. “What can an uncleared partner already see?”

Before a partner discussion, staff review the Sentinel-2 index and public hazard layers. That answers a simple question in lay terms: which free satellite scenes and public alerts already exist for this region?

3. Classroom or STEM outreach

A teacher uses the earthquake magnitude chart and EONET categories to show how open science feeds work. Students learn that “defense-adjacent” public data can mean weather, disasters, and transparency lists—not secret bases.

4. Cyber hygiene desk check

An IT lead glances at the CISA KEV sample in data/defense_open/. It is a public “patch these known-exploited holes first” catalog.

5. Flight log continuity for public launches

When Aerostratospheric publishes a public balloon event summary, it is appended to data/flight_logs/.

6. Automation and reproducibility

python3 scripts/ingest_open_tier.py
python3 scripts/compute_us_open_status.py
python3 scripts/generate_gir_charts.py
python3 scripts/generate_daily_exec_summary.py
# or:
bash scripts/daily_gir_automation.sh

7. Grant / SAM.gov narrative support

Open GIR materials illustrate a responsible open-data posture: public inputs, clear tiers, disclaimers, and no claim to replace NWS, USGS, or military command systems.

Non-use cases (on purpose): sole life-safety alerting, classified basing lists, targeting folders, or kinetic system control.


Executive reports

Open-tier daily executive summaries are generated automatically by the same GitHub Actions pipeline.
