Space Stations Tracker: Interactive WorldMap with Node-RED
Utilizing Node-RED's dynamic WorldMap capabilities, this project tracks the current locations of two major orbiting marvels: the International Space Station (ISS) and the Chinese Space Station—Tiangong. This is achieved by integrating real-time data from N2YO.com's comprehensive API, ensuring accurate and up-to-date positional information. Explore the fascinating journey of these space stations as they orbit our planet Earth.
