Space Data brings real-time and historical NASA data into any workflow — the Astronomy Picture of the Day, near-Earth asteroid tracking with hazard ratings, live ISS position, the current crew in space, and full-disc Earth photos from orbit.
Whether you're building an educational app, a space-themed dashboard, or just want to know if any asteroids are passing close to Earth this week, this tool gives you clean structured access to NASA's public data feeds.
What you can do
- Get NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day — today, any specific date, a date range, or random picks
- Track near-Earth objects: asteroid names, sizes, miss distances, velocities, and hazard status
- Get the ISS's real-time latitude, longitude, altitude, and velocity
- See who is currently in space, grouped by spacecraft
- Retrieve full-disc Earth images from the DSCOVR satellite
Who it's for
Educators and students who want live space data for lessons and projects. Developers building space or astronomy apps. Dashboard builders who want a live NASA data feed. Anyone who wants to know what's happening in space right now.
How to use it
- Use picture_of_the_day with no parameters for today's image, or pass a date for a specific day
- Use near_earth_objects with a date range (up to 7 days) to see upcoming asteroid activity — check hazardous_count and miss_distance
- Use iss_position for a real-time lat/lon, altitude, and velocity snapshot
- Use people_in_space to see the current crew list grouped by spacecraft
- Use earth_imagery for full-disc Earth photos from DSCOVR
