Tracking the International Space Station Using InfluxDB

InfluxDB is being used to track the position of the International Space Station by Sean Brickley, an intern at InfluxData, as part of a personal side project to work on throughout his internship. The data was obtained from a public API and stored in an InfluxDB instance, but Brickley found it challenging to visualize the coordinates on a world map due to the nature of time-series databases. However, he discovered Flux's experimental geo package, which allows for plotting latitude and longitude measurements as coordinates over time, making it possible to create a dashboard that accomplishes what he wanted with ease. The features are still experimental, but the results are promising, and Brickley is excited to continue working on this project and share updates.
