Automate ISS Location Data to AWS SQS
detail.loadingPreview
Seamlessly capture real-time International Space Station (ISS) location data and reliably send it to an AWS SQS queue. This workflow automates the fetching and distribution of critical satellite telemetry for downstream processing or archival.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for integrating real-time ISS location data into your cloud infrastructure. It begins by triggering a request to the wheretheiss.at API every minute to fetch the current position of the ISS. The retrieved data, including latitude, longitude, and timestamp, is then meticulously organized using a 'Set' node. Finally, this processed information is reliably sent to an AWS SQS queue, ensuring that your ISS telemetry is securely stored and available for further consumption by other applications or services. This automation is ideal for projects requiring consistent access to live satellite data for monitoring, analysis, or historical tracking.
Key Features
- Real-time ISS Tracking: Fetches live latitude, longitude, and timestamp data for the ISS.
- Automated Data Processing: Organizes fetched data into a structured format.
- Reliable AWS SQS Integration: Delivers processed data to a secure and scalable SQS queue.
- Scheduled Execution: Runs automatically every minute for continuous data capture.
- Extensible Cloud Integration: Provides a foundation for further downstream data utilization.
How To Use
- Configure the 'Cron' Node: Set the
triggerTimestoeveryMinuteto initiate the workflow periodically. - Configure the 'HTTP Request' Node: Ensure the
urlis set tohttps://api.wheretheiss.at/v1/satellites/25544/positionsand thetimestampsquery parameter is set to={{Date.now()}}to request current data. - Configure the 'Set' Node: Map the incoming JSON fields from the 'HTTP Request' node to the desired output fields. Specifically, set 'Latitude', 'Longitude', and 'Timestamp' using
={{$node["HTTP Request"].json["0"]["latitude"]}}(and corresponding fields), and 'Name' using={{$node["HTTP Request"].json["0"]["name"]}}. - Configure the 'AWS SQS' Node: Enter your AWS SQS
queueURL and ensure your AWS credentials are set up correctly in thecredentials.awssection for authentication.
