NASA link now dead #1

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news; however... The ADCO link at https://spacestationlive.nasa.gov/displays/adcoDisplay2.html is now dead. A search finds... "NASA quietly retired the entire Space Station Live telemetry site in 2023–2024, and with it the only public-facing source of ISS attitude telemetry (yaw, pitch, roll)." :(

So I went to Copilot (sorry, it was my only option as Google search was failing me). The results:

Luckily, NASA publishes the attitude conventions and nominal attitudes:

  • XVV (x‑axis along velocity vector)
  • LVLH (Local Vertical Local Horizontal)
  • TEA (Torque Equilibrium Attitude)
  • Solar beta angle constraints
  • Docking port geometry

These allow you to compute a synthetic attitude, which is what most aerospace simulations do.

I've got Copilot produced code; however, I need to validate it (plus, I'm working on Python vs PHP). Let me noodle on it for a bit and test it before continuing with this issue.

(In the meantime - thank you for this codebase - very useful!)
