ISS locator#

Borne out of an idea about Amature Radio, i wanted to have a utility that can quickly check if ISS is in visible and amature radio range to listen to.

Your location is recieved from IP, ISS location from an API, plagiarized Haversine formula to check the distance between.

TODO's#

  • Make calls async (dont judge it was easier like this) (see below)
  • Add interractive mode. - DONE see satellite_observe.rs
    • terminal drawn world map ( with plotters-rs? )
    • selecting your location on the map (see above)
    • display location of the ISS relative to you when in range
  • Create compile actions on tag pushes
