Space Data, and more

Open Notify is an open source project to provide a simple front end for some of NASA’s awesome data.

Sadly most of the data NASA has is hidden way on obscure web pages and in unreadable formats. I started just trying to find where the International Space Station was at any given moment. From there I scraped spacecraft data from JPL and started looking at Mars photographs.

I hope some of the data and code here will be useful and inspire people to look more closely at what humans are up to in space.
