High-Level Project Summary
We developed a site where people can observe the coordinates of the ISS and satellites around the Earth in real-time.On the site, a bot can give information about the ISS (e.g. What is the ISS?") to the user who asks it questions. The mission of our sites is to teach people how and why the ISS works. We think that having a solid knowledge of ISS and satellites can become our society more conscious of space.The challenge "Track the Space Station in 3D" is fully resolved by our 3D Earth model on the main page of the site, which collects the ISS latitude, longitude and altitude (the three dimensions required in the challenge).

Detailed Project Description
ORBITSS is a Javascript-based site that shows a 3d Earth model and ISS/satellites coordinates on the main page. People can find the coordinates visually collected on the 3D model and written near the globe. The user can
Hackathon Journey
We found the Space Apps experience very exciting and stimulating. We learn more about our strengths as individual people and how to collaborate as a team on a challenge
