ISS Coordinates Number
The ISS Coordinates Number API retrieves the current position of the International Space Station, which is traveling at 7.66 km/s somewhere above Earth, and performs undisclosed mathematical operations on its coordinates to produce a random number. The crew was not informed. The methodology involves latitude, longitude, and altitude in ways that would not survive peer review.
