Views-Via-ISS

https://mikeymanoguerra.github.io/Views-via-ISS/

This app cobbles together several public API's to display The International Space Station's Current Location, and also serves a LandSat 8 image of this location, if the ISS is over land.

The app is built with jQuery, contains a jQuery global state, and is deployed with webpack.

There is a secret form when the .png of the Landsat 8 is clicked.

A note on image quality

The image quality that api returns has degraded since this application was originally built. If I were to return to this project, I would use google earth based API's to freshen up the data sources. This was the suggestion of one of the NASA Api's maintainers. For now, this project (Views-via-ISS) is on the backburner.

Next Steps

  • Improved 'you are here' image for map view, that switches to an astronaut on form submission, (spacewalk).
  • View previous locations from the current session.
  • smooth image transition
  • Find and impliment other space API's
  • Convert the store to a node back end, and archive successful GETS from Nasa api.
  • Collect my own DataSet, allow point and click locations for satellite images
