satellite iss in python

To track the International Space Station (ISS) in Python, you can use the ephem library. Here's an example code snippet to get the ISS location:

main.py
import ephem

# Create ISS observer object
observer = ephem.readtle('ISS',
                         '1 25544U 98067A   21044.39198280  .00000613  00000-0  36934-4 0  9999',
                         '2 25544  51.6440 168.5219 0008894  79.7604 280.4282 15.48845800281769')

# Set observer location
observer.compute()

# Get current ISS position
iss_long = float(observer.sublong)
iss_lat = float(observer.sublat)
print('ISS Longitude:', iss_long)
print('ISS Latitude:', iss_lat)

Make sure to install ephem library by running pip install ephem before running this code.

This code uses the TLE (Two-Line Element) set for the ISS to create an observer object. It then computes the current position of the ISS and prints out its longitude and latitude.

Remember that this code will give you the ISS's position at the time you run it, so you may need to update the TLE set periodically to get accurate results.
