Satellite Inspection Mode #156

Description

@krishkhinchi

Description

Implement an interactive Satellite Inspection Mode that allows users to select and inspect any satellite in the 3D scene. When a satellite is selected, smoothly transition the camera with a cinematic zoom that focuses on the object while maintaining an immersive viewing experience.

Display a modern, futuristic information panel containing key real-time and orbital data, including:

  • Satellite name
  • Orbital elements (TLE/Keplerian parameters)
  • Current velocity
  • Altitude above Earth
  • Operator/Owner
  • Launch date
  • Mission type (if available)
  • Predicted orbital trajectory/path visualization
  • Current position and status

The inspection mode should highlight the selected satellite, render its predicted orbit around Earth, and allow users to freely rotate, zoom, and exit inspection mode without interrupting the simulation.
