Live Demo: Satellite Telemetry Monitoring with InfluxDB 3
Session Date: Apr 30, 2026
Time: 8:00am (PT) | 3:00pm (GMT)
Satellite operations generate continuous streams of telemetry data across mission assurance and service assurance workflows. Tracking spacecraft health, ground network status, and TT&C signals produces high-cardinality, high-frequency data that relational databases weren’t built to handle at volume.
In this demo, InfluxData’s Senior Sales Engineers Alex Katzdobler and Ian Clark walk through a live InfluxDB 3 setup handling satellite telemetry data and explain how the disaggregated architecture separates ingest, query, and storage nodes, allowing each to scale independently. They’ll also simulate tracking satellites and space debris in LEO, as well as various Influx Explorer components that demonstrate how to take advantage of real-time telemetry.
You’ll see how InfluxDB 3 stores metrics and telemetry, handles high cardinality without index overhead, and manages long-term data retention using columnar storage on S3-compatible object stores.
This demo includes:
- Ingestion of real-time high-throughput metrics from component simulation
- Querying across long time ranges with sub-second response times using the in-memory cache for recent data.
- Table-level retention policies and downsampling via the Processing Engine.
