This n8n workflow automates the process of tracking the International Space Station’s (ISS) position in real-time and storing its data in Google Firebase Realtime Database. The workflow is scheduled to run every minute, ensuring up-to-date information is consistently captured.

The process begins with a Cron node set to trigger every minute. When activated, it initiates an HTTP Request node that fetches the current position of the ISS from the ‘WhereTheISS’ API, including latitude, longitude, and timestamp data.

The retrieved data is then processed in a Set node, extracting and organizing the key information: latitude, longitude, and timestamp. This structured data is then pushed into a specified path within Google Firebase Realtime Database, ensuring a continuous log of the satellite’s position.

This workflow is ideal for applications such as real-time tracking dashboards, educational projects, or telemetry data collection for space enthusiasts or researchers interested in live satellite tracking data, providing an automated pipeline from data acquisition to storage without manual intervention.
