Where is the ISS?

Track the International Space Station, predict where it's heading, and learn about that place.

Steps

1. Locate — Call the ISS position API to get current latitude and longitude.

2. Geocode — Pass the coordinates to OpenStreetMap to identify what's below. If the ISS is over ocean, call the position API again, compare the two positions to determine heading and speed, then extrapolate to find the next landmass in its path. Geocode that predicted location instead.

3. Learn — Look up the identified place on Wikipedia.

Questions you can ask

  • Where is the ISS right now?
  • What's below the ISS?
  • Where is the ISS heading next?
