Space Station (GDG VIT Task)

Locating International Space Station (ISS) and Astronauts real time

What this project does?

  • Finding the names of astronauts currently at the ISS
  • Finding the current location of ISS above the earth
  • Plotting the location on the map

What is ISS ?

  • The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit.
  • It is a multi-nation construction project that is the largest single structure humans ever put into space.
  • The ISS is moving at close to 28,000 km/h so its location changes really fast.

Open Notify API

  • In order to determine the position of the ISS, API’s are used.
  • Open Notify is an open source project to provide a simple programming interface for some of NASA’s data.
  • The data is scraped and turned into APIs related to space and spacecraft.
  • Open Notify
