I am a teacher near Chicago. Our school is possibly going to talk to the
astronauts on the ISS in March. My intention is to create a simple web
site to keep parents up to date. On that page, I'd like to have a
tracking map for the ISS. does anyone have a site which will supply
script to put a map right into my web page? I've looked, but I can't
find a decent one.

bullsfan586 stelde de volgende uitleg voor :
http://www.heavens-above.com/ (website with “where is ISS?”)
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/index.html (also an
online application to see where ISS is).

My personal favorite: http://www.stoff.pl, a free program called
Orbitron. The parents of your pupils can download and install the
program and figure out whre ISS is them selves. This way, the parents
can learn something too.

Thanks for the response. I've seen that site, but I was hoping for
something that could be imbedded into our site. I don't want our parents
to have to download something.

You might check http://space.cweb.nl/tracking-iss-zarya.php and send
the editors there an e-mail and ask if they can help.

good luck!
