What you'll learn
Learn to track the International Space Station (ISS) using longitude and latitude. Tracking the ISS combines real-world excitement with practical skills in geospatial data. In this course, Data Show and Tell: Tracking the ISS in Real-time, we’ll show you how to build a real-time tracking system using publicly available APIs and visualization tools. You’ll learn to fetch live ISS location data, process geospatial coordinates, and create interactive maps that display its position, predict its movements, and trigger alerts for overhead passes. Whether you’re a data enthusiast, a developer, or just curious about space technology, this project offers engaging hands-on experience with real-world applications.
