Real-Time Trajectory Push for the International Space Station (ISS)

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically retrieves the real-time geographic location data of the International Space Station (ISS) every minute, including latitude, longitude, and timestamp. The structured location information is then pushed to an AWS SQS message queue, ensuring stable data transmission and enabling subsequent asynchronous processing.

Core Problems Addressed

Enables real-time monitoring and collection of the ISS’s spatial position data, addressing challenges related to high-frequency data acquisition and ensuring reliable message delivery. This prevents data loss or processing delays, thereby enhancing the timeliness of trajectory data and improving system scalability.

Application Scenarios

  • Real-time ISS position monitoring for aerospace research institutions
  • Displaying dynamic ISS trajectories on educational platforms
  • Analyzing ISS flight paths and ground coverage relationships for logistics or communication companies
  • Any system integration scenario requiring asynchronous processing of ISS location data via message queues

Main Workflow Steps

  1. Scheduled Trigger (Cron): Initiates the workflow every minute.
  2. HTTP Request: Calls a public API to obtain the current ISS location data.
  3. Data Formatting (Set): Extracts and formats key information such as latitude, longitude, timestamp, and name.
  4. Message Push (AWS SQS): Sends the formatted location data to an AWS SQS queue to ensure reliable storage and subsequent processing.

Involved Systems or Services

  • Cron: Schedules and triggers the workflow at fixed intervals.
  • HTTP Request: Fetches data from external API endpoints.
  • AWS SQS: Amazon Simple Queue Service used for asynchronous message delivery and storage.

Target Users and Value

Ideal for aerospace data analysts, IoT developers, real-time data processing engineers, and research institutions. This workflow facilitates effortless automatic collection and pushing of ISS location data, improving data processing efficiency and supporting diverse downstream data applications and system integrations.
