untitled Building an ISS Pointer Tracker using Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 Overview – Part 1 Alt/Az Pointer Expanding on my Stepper Motor controller using Adafruit Huzzah ESP8266 WiFi module by adding a small Servo, I created a mechanical device that can move in Azimuth (using a Stepper) and Altitude (using a Servo). This makes for a compact and low-cost remotely controlled celestial pointer. Because the ESP8266 is a bit short on memory to handle the celestial calculations, I have split this project into two parts. A separate project will add a Linux server, such as a Raspberry Pi, to do the ISS calculations and send the HTTP commands to this ESP8299 pointer.

It’s happening, you’re watching real time video from space - Article | Airbus Defence and Space An Airbus Defence and Space project could revolutionise observation from space. GO-3S satellite would potentially be capable in just a few minutes of directing its 100km x 100km field of observation to a target zone to transmit images and video to the ground in real time. An optical observation satellite in geostationary orbit would be able to continuously monitor a specific location on Earth, opening up unprecedented prospects in the fields of defence, natural disaster management, infrastructure protection, security and many others. June 2025, a humanitarian disaster in a country in the Sahel forces tens of thousands to flee to borders with the neighbouring countries. This emergency management scenario could soon become a reality, thanks to Airbus Defence and Space, whose GO-3S (Geostationary Observation Space Surveillance System) project could revolutionise the satellite imaging market. “The GO-3S satellite is part of Airbus Defence and Space’s innovation approach.
ISS Interactive 3D Visualization This is our new 3D visualization of the ISS, please see below for instructions on how to use it, a list of features, and tips in case it does not display on your browser. Usage instructions: Drag the viewpoint with the mouse whilst holding down the left button. Zoom in and out from the ISS using the mouse wheel. Use the button at the bottom right of the display to enter fullscreen mode. Features: 3D ISS model with solar panels which rotate to track the Sun (model accuracy will be improved in future release). Troubleshooting This visualization uses WebGL, which is a relatively new technology and is only supported by modern browsers. If you cannot see the display at all, make sure WebGL is enabled on your browser, and make sure your browser is up-to-date.

Happy Hour Virus | Courtesy of TDA_Boulder LIVE REAL TIME SATELLITE TRACKING AND PREDICTIONS SATVIEW - Int. Space Station - Norad 25544U - Tracking satellites and Spacejunk in Real time How to Track Satellites To track a satellite it is necessary to choose one. That is made by clicking directly on the satellite available on the "Great Visibility" column or after clicking on some of the categories. Once chosen, after a few seconds the program will begin the track the satellite. Important Make sure that the computer clock is correct and the time zone is compatible with your Region. On the Internet there are dozens of programs that keep your computer always on time. On the main screen we can see the World map, where the satellite in movement stands out by two outlined lines. On the blue screen, right the map, we have the parameters panel, updated every second, which is divided in three main areas, as shown below. Visibility conditions For a satellite can be observed directly, it is necessary that the sunshine reaches its structure and is reflected into our eyes. As a general rule, the closer the satellite passes over our station, the better the observation will be.
