My daughter and I made this 10 years ago for the NASA Space Apps Challenge and I notified a whole bunch of folk at NASA but never heard anything back. Laughably amateurish compared to this magnificent work but it was fun to make. We actually started work on the next version - a tool that lets you mark begin/end photo frames from those incredible fly-bys…

#23Is there a historical record of the data that appears through the ISS stats tracker? https://iss-mimic.github.io/Mimic/ Lots of interesting information in there, like how much water is getting used, and which direction all the panels are facing.
I turned the awesome work of the ISS Mimic into a Prometheus+Grafana stack a while ago: https://github.com/radiergummi/iss-metrics Never got around to create bespoke visualisations for all the different kinds of metrics, but having all that data in Grafana made it a lot easier to play around and get insights.

#25I'd love to have a real 24-hour feed of the Earth from the ISS on my wall. But in reality, the ISS loses ground connection constantly.

Awesome. You don’t happen to have 25 years of recorded telemetry, do you?

Not really constantly. For 20 seconds every 30 minutes or so when it changes what satellite it’s pointed at, plus longer outages throughout the day depending on satellite usage by other systems. This may be just a minute or so every hour on a high-coverage day, or it may include 15-minute outages occasionally at low-coverage times (typically when the crew are asleep)
