Real-Time ISS Position Updates to RabbitMQ

This workflow automatically fetches the International Space Station’s (ISS) current position every minute and sends the data to a RabbitMQ queue, enabling real-time monitoring and integration with other systems.

The workflow begins with a Cron trigger, scheduled to run every minute. When triggered, the HTTP Request node makes a call to the ‘Where the ISS’ API to get the latest latitude, longitude, and timestamp of the ISS. The response data is then processed by the Set node, which extracts and formats the relevant information, including the station’s position and name.

Finally, this structured data is published to a RabbitMQ queue named ‘iss-position’ using the RabbitMQ node. This setup can be used by applications or services that need real-time ISS tracking data, such as space enthusiasts, educational platforms, or space mission monitoring dashboards.

This workflow is ideal for creating live updates or building integrations that require continuous ISS positional data.
