Track ISS Position Every Minute & Push to Firebase

This workflow automates the collection of real-time position data for the International Space Station (ISS). It uses a Cron node to trigger every minute, making an HTTP request to the Where The ISS At API (satellite ID 25544) with the current timestamp to retrieve the latest coordinates. The response is processed by a Set node, which extracts the latitude, longitude, and timestamp into a clean JSON structure.

The data is then pushed to a specified path ('iss') in Google Firebase Realtime Database using the Google Cloud Realtime Database node. This enables seamless real-time syncing for web or mobile apps. Benefits include eliminating manual polling, ensuring up-to-date satellite tracking data, and reducing development time for location-based applications.

Ideal use cases: Building live ISS tracking dashboards, educational projects on space tech, IoT devices displaying satellite positions, or integrating into AR/VR experiences. It's lightweight, reliable, and scalable for continuous monitoring without server management.
