International Space Station Current Location

http://open-notify.org/Open-Notify-API/ISS-Location-Now/

The ISS programme is a joint project between five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements.

The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, physics, astronomy, and other fields.

This is all from Wikipedia.

Who are the astronauts on board right now?

Collect data - try to let it run over

We know that it orbits 15.5 perday, so let it run at least 2 hours to collect enough data to see it go around the earth once.
