Hey jaennaet, that's so cool! I work at Lightstreamer and we have never met before.

I often use the urine tank level as an example in my presentations. It’s a fun way to demonstrate streaming real-time data from space (literally) to web and mobile apps.

For a bit of background: NASA selected us back in 2010 for a project called SSLive, aimed at making telemetry data from the ISS publicly accessible in real time via an open feed.

If you’re curious about the full range of metrics available, you can explore the original GitHub project here: https://github.com/Lightstreamer/Lightstreamer-example-ISSLi...

Hey! Thank you for the link.

It just won't stop being a bit amazing that it's even possible to do all this nowadays. What a world.

Out of curiosity, do you know why NASA wanted to set up a public telemetry stream? Is the same stream used for "official" stuff as well? Regardless, it's great that it is public

NASA set it up for education purpose. This is the official paper about this project: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20130013825
