## What it is
SmartNode is a space-based intelligent relay simulation platform that visualizes satellites, ground stations, relay links, and content-driven task scheduling for data downlink scenarios. It features a 3D situational display, a Flask backend with an open API, and a decoupled frontend, deployable via Docker with gunicorn.

## Use cases
- simulate satellite data downlink missions
- visualize satellite and ground station coverage in 3D
- monitor relay link and resource utilization in real time
- submit and schedule data return tasks
- demo space-based relay network coordination
- self-host a space situational awareness dashboard

## When to choose
- you need a visual simulation of satellite-ground station relay scenarios
- you want a self-contained, Docker-deployable simulation platform with an open API
- you are teaching or demonstrating space-based data return and task scheduling concepts

## When to avoid
- you need real satellite telemetry or actual flight software integration
- you require high-fidelity orbital mechanics or industry-grade mission planning
- you need a production ground segment system rather than a simulation/demo tool
