ISS Tracker

ISS Tracker
This program is a tracker for the International Space Station (ISS). It consists of a world map where the position is dynamically updated in real-time. Moreover, it also displays names of the astronauts currently aboard the ISS.

Although the program is very simple, it requires some non-intuitive math. Since the coordinates are fetched from API in degrees, and the map (Mercator projection) is a Cartesian system, it needs to be converted to pixels using those monstrosities below.
