Workflow Description

How it works
- 1.A cron scheduler triggers the workflow every 60 seconds
- 2.An HTTP request fetches the current ISS coordinates from a public API
- 3.Position data and metadata are extracted and stored in variables
- 4.The location data is sent to an AMQP topic in ActiveMQ
Use cases

- Broadcast location alerts to multiple subscriber services
- Collect historical trajectory data for orbital analysis
Requirements
- Stable internet connection and access to a public ISS location API
- Configured ActiveMQ server with an available AMQP topic
