[–] lunchbreak 8y ago ↗ The re-entry dashboard has the live details, but its preventing direct links, so I've linked to the main page. [–] digi_owl 8y ago ↗ Seems to me that the dashboard is basically a png that is refreshed ever so often. [–] lunchbreak 8y ago ↗ Exactly [–] sduclos 8y ago ↗ get this, at 22:52:28 UTC, the time to reentry is 1.6h +- 1.7h [–] davrosthedalek 8y ago ↗ I think that's because it's currently not tracked. I.e., the station could have reentered a couple of minuted ago, and they wouldn't know. [–] sduclos 8y ago ↗ correct, also extrapolating on bunch of equation systems is bound to lead to this sort math aberration [–] mkempe 8y ago ↗ It was, confusingly, a computed dashboard -- not an actual tracker. [–] exikyut 8y ago ↗ I'm able to load http://www.aerospace.org/CORDSuploads/TiangongStoryboard.png just fine, including via wget.

[–] exikyut 8y ago ↗ What other live data is there for this?(Besides the PNG which I am now downloading every 30 seconds using this in an empty dir:) while true; do wget http://www.aerospace.org/CORDSuploads/TiangongStoryboard.png -O $(date +%s).png; sleep 30; done Seems to update every 5 minutes at the moment; I'm overengineering incase they increase it at some point. [–] anothergoogler 8y ago ↗ <snipped crappy script> [–] soneil 8y ago ↗ not just wget -N in a polite loop? [–] anothergoogler 8y ago ↗ I've been vanquished!

[–] okket 8y ago ↗ "#JFSCC confirmed #Tiangong1 reentered the atmosphere over the southern Pacific Ocean at ~5:16 p.m. (PST) April 1."https://twitter.com/18SPCS/status/980614448745406465I also recommend to follow Jonathan McDowell (@planet4589) for more informal updates on space activity.
[–] exikyut 8y ago ↗ After a multi-hour fight with imgur, which has some of the most BROKEN website design I have experienced (so. many. bugs.), I uploaded the tiny album of snapshots I took.https://imgur.com/a/CWkeP
