International Space Station Tracker

Using the Real time ISS position, I have developed a static website that displays the current position of the International Space Station with a spacecraft icon, crew information, and light/dark mode toggle. You can explore it here: ISS Tracker

ISS Tracker Website

Features

  • 🛰️ Real-time ISS position snapshot (at time of generation)
  • 👨‍🚀 Current crew member information
  • 🌍 Interactive map with custom spacecraft icon
  • 🌗 Light/Dark mode toggle (changes water color to dark grey)
  • 📱 Responsive design works on all devices
  • ⏳ Static HTML (perfect for GitHub Pages)

How It Works

This project uses:

The website shows:

  • Current ISS latitude/longitude
  • Number of astronauts aboard
  • Crew member names
  • Last update time
  • Visual orbit path

How to Use

  1. Visit the live GitHub Pages site
  2. View the ISS current position
  3. Toggle dark mode using the button below the info panel

Development

To regenerate the static HTML with current data:

python generate_iss_tracker.py

About
