Satellite Position Scraper
Pulls the live position of the ISS and other tracked satellites through the public Where the ISS at? API. No login, no proxy, no browser.
Input
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
satelliteIds | array | Required. NORAD catalog IDs. Default ["25544"] (the ISS). |
units | string | kilometers | miles. Default kilometers. |
Output
One row per satellite: satelliteId, name, latitude, longitude,
altitude, velocity, footprint, visibility, solarLatitude,
solarLongitude, units, observedAt.
Notes
- Each run captures a single instant. The ISS moves roughly 7.6 km every second, so two runs a minute apart describe positions about 450 km apart — schedule the Actor if you want a track rather than a point.
altitude,velocityandfootprintare all expressed in whicheverunitswas requested, which is why the row carriesunitsrather than baking it into the field names.visibilityreports whether the satellite is in daylight, eclipsed or in the visible-from-ground window — it describes the satellite, not the observer's sky.
