Node.js IoT: Tracking the ISS through the Sky

[Dave Johnson]

In this tutorial, I guide readers through an exciting Node.js IoT project that tracks the International Space Station (ISS) as it orbits the Earth. By utilizing the Open Notify API, we fetch the ISS's current latitude and longitude, and with the help of the 'got' and 'geolib' npm modules, we continuously retrieve and calculate the distance from a specified location on Earth. The project not only demonstrates how to work with APIs and JSON data but also provides a fun way to engage with real-time space data, making it accessible for anyone with a Node.js-capable machine.
