ISS Lamp -NTP Clock – Artpieces

ISS lamp lights up a powerful LED whenever the International Space Station passes by.
Pass data is fetched via UDP from a server that scrapes, parses and caches it from “heavens-above.com” using a python script.
A VFD display gives information about the next/current pass, (T-minus time, direction, and magnitude if available), the lamp also functions as an NTP controlled clock.
