Automated Satellite Data Processing with AWS SQS

This workflow is ideal for:

• Developers looking to automate data collection from APIs.
• Data Analysts who need real-time satellite position data for analysis.
• System Administrators managing AWS services and looking to streamline message processing.
• IoT Enthusiasts wanting to track satellite data for projects.
• Businesses needing timely updates on satellite positions for operational decisions.

This workflow addresses the challenge of manual data retrieval from the satellite position API. By automating the process, users can:

• Receive real-time updates on satellite positions every minute without manual intervention.
• Integrate this data seamlessly with AWS SQS for further processing or notifications.
• Save time and reduce errors associated with manual data handling.

1. Cron Node: Triggers the workflow every minute, ensuring timely data collection.
2. HTTP Request Node: Makes a GET request to the satellite position API, fetching the latest data, including latitude, longitude, and timestamp.
3. Set Node: Extracts and formats the relevant data from the API response, preparing it for further processing. This includes:
   • Latitude
   • Longitude
   • Timestamp
   • Name of the satellite
4. AWS SQS Node: Sends the formatted data to an AWS SQS queue for further use, enabling other applications to process or react to the satellite position updates.
