Track the Space Station

 A website developed out of my curosity towards International Space Station

Homepage



Features


* **Live Position**

* **At Your Location**

* **Weekly Blogs**



Live Position

This Feature tells the current position of Space Station on an interactive map, refreshes every 5 second


* I have used API endpoints provided by **Open-notify** to get the live latitude and longitude of Space Station as json response.

* Used the **leaflet.js** javascript Library for interactive map.

* Used the json response (lat, lon) to put the marker on the map which updates in a animated way every 5 second.



At your location

This Feature tells the schedule at which you can spot the Space Station from your location with naked eye in clear sky.


* Used **leaflet.js** javascript library for interactive map.

* When a user clicks at a location in the map, data (lat, lon) is collected of that location

* GET request is sent to **Open-notify** with lat,lon as parameter to get the schedule.



Weekly Blog


* Data is Fetched from **spaceflightnewsapi** using the public API
