A Java Swing application using WorldWind to visually & continuously show the location of the International Space Station (ISS).
- Java 17
- Maven project
- Requires WorldWind dependency (either manually added or you can use the included one in
pom.xml)- See comments...
The project started from the inspiration of openAl's chatGPT after asking the following question:
Write a program in Java that uses NASA WorldWind to show me the location of the ISS.
Incredibly, chatGPT "wrote" a simple Java application that did just that, but it was very limited.
Since I now had a head start, I decided to pursue this project further! After working on this for a couple of days,
we now have a cool (still very simple) Java Swing application that shows the ISS position every (future configurable) 15 seconds. We are
also drawing a "ground track" Path (could be interpreted as an orbit track) using the provided ISS altitude as
the elevation of the constructed Positions.
I continue to use chatGPT for help or suggestions.
This continues to be a work on progress. Pull requests are welcome! Thank you
