Real-Time Satellite Position Collector and Queue Sender

This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching real-time satellite position data, processing it, and sending it to an AWS SQS queue for further use. The workflow is triggered every minute to ensure up-to-date information collection.

The process begins with a Cron node that triggers the workflow every minute. It then makes an HTTP request to the ‘Where The ISS’ API to fetch the latest position of the International Space Station. The response data, which includes latitude, longitude, timestamp, and name, is processed and structured using a Set node. The relevant data points are extracted and formatted.

Finally, the processed data is sent to an Amazon SQS queue using the AWS SQS node. This setup allows for seamless integration and real-time data streaming into cloud storage or other processing systems, ideal for monitoring or analysis projects involving satellite or space station tracking.
