This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching the International Space Station’s (ISS) current position every minute and publishing that data to a designated topic in ActiveMQ. It involves scheduled triggers, API requests, data processing, and message publishing, making it ideal for real-time monitoring or educational displays.
The workflow begins with a Cron node set to trigger every minute, initiating the process. It then sends an HTTP request to the ‘Where the ISS at’ API to retrieve the latest position data of the ISS, including latitude, longitude, timestamp, and name. The response data is processed with a Set node, which extracts and formats the relevant information. Finally, the data is sent via an AMQP node to an ActiveMQ topic named ‘iss-postition’.
This setup is perfect for developing live space tracking dashboards, automated notifications for space enthusiasts, or integrating ISS location data into larger space mission management systems. Although the workflow is currently inactive, activating it would enable continuous real-time updates of the ISS position.
