NO. 01 / APOLLO · ORBITAL TELEMETRY
Ship the launch page around the signal.
Helios renders a developer-grade telemetry surface in the browser’s first viewport — an orbital field, a live command HUD, and a coordinate datum that read like a ground station, not a marketing page. Zero runtime dependencies. Pure Canvas 2D.

A visual launch layer with a practical page underneath.
Spectacle kept on one canvas, structure everywhere else.
Canvas-native orbital field
A single 2D canvas paints layered ellipses, drifting ticks, and two tracked satellites into one composited frame. An offscreen background buffer and a half-res additive bloom hold the instrument at 60 fps without ever reaching for WebGL.
a 3D feeling, drawn flat.
DRAW1 canvas · 0 GLCursor and scroll aware
Pointer position feeds a mass-spring that parallaxes the core; scroll velocity injects orbit spin that settles in ~600 ms expo-out, and page progress drives the same --helios-scroll signal that fills the launch rail. One coordinate, two instruments.

Below the hero the page stays a real product: proof band, command HUD, architecture, telemetry strip, and a conversion close — every band a semantic, responsive panel on the same coordinate datum, ready to take your copy without touching the canvas.

Premium motion, measured down to the byte.
Every figure below is a real delivery constraint, not marketing. Helios renders the orbital field on browser-native APIs only — nothing to install, nothing to hydrate.

Ready for orbit / Launch sequence
Turn your first viewport into a product instrument.
Swap the copy, wire the CTAs, keep the orbital field as your signature launch moment. Ships zero-runtime, static-site friendly, and reads like telemetry the second it loads.
