Copy Celestrak Data

Periodically copying data from Celestrak

I just added a new feature to the Space service I’ve been working on. It will now periodically copy interesting data from Celestrak and make it available at http://api.thiago.pub:9092/.

This data will allow me to make the existing UI (currently at http://api.thiago.pub:8080/) a bit more streamlined. E.g., instead of having to enter a TLE, the user will be able to select any of the entries in stations via a dropdown.

I might also try and figure out a good way to display information from the latest SOCRATES data in the UI.
