Map ISS

This is a simple web application built to track the current location of the International Space Station

The International Space Station is a modular space station in low Earth orbit. It is a multinational collaborative project involving five participating space agencies: NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA.

ISS NORAD ID : 25544

The Inspiration to this app comes from the NASA Live on Youtube of the activities performed by astronauts right above our heads

We will be using HTML,CSS,JS

The App is developed using the Open Notify API

Open Notify provides 2 types of API's:

1.  ISS current location
