Could you calculate the position from the Ephemeris data in realtime instead of using an API? This would allow you to return the current location on every request potentially.

Is there any service on the ISS that the public can interact with? Maybe you could use response times to figure out where it is that way.
It's pretty likely there will be a slow-scan TV event in mid-July, where the station will be transmitting images you can pick up with a radio. These are nice because you don't neeed a license - anyone with a radio that can pick up the right frequencies can receive.

That's what I thought this was going to be from the title -- some kind of DNS response time triangulation from a device on the ISS itself, because DNS was allowed past a firewall or something...
It's still a fun little project, but definitely feeling a little disappointed in comparison to what the title felt like it suggested to me...

Depends on the hops between you and the target

Great post, definitely something I can setup on my personal recursive DNS resolver. Yet another toy I can throw on to my rpi :)

Considering the ISS orbits in ~90 minutes, the 15 minute TTL is quite a long time.
