01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Publicly available information about the International Space Station’s position

“Gather position details at the selected interval, preserve source and time context, and share each update only with the agreed audience.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team follow changing public position information in a shared destination without repeatedly checking for updates by hand.

  1. Choose a trusted public source

    Select a source that provides position information appropriate to the team’s purpose.

  2. Gather updates on a chosen schedule

    Collect available position details at the interval the team has selected.

  3. Keep source and time context

    Include when the information was reported and where it came from so readers can assess its recency.

  4. Share with the intended audience

    Make updates available in the agreed destination and limit access to people who need them.

  5. Flag missing or delayed information

    Make unavailable or stale details visible instead of presenting them as current.

  6. Review before outside sharing

    Have a person verify the source and approve the exact content and audience before external distribution.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A regularly refreshed stream of position information with its source and reported time visible to the intended group.

The handoff

A regularly refreshed stream of position information with its source and reported time visible to the intended group.

Keep in mind

Position information can be delayed or imprecise. Check its source and timestamp before relying on it, and have a person review the audience and exact content before external publication or sharing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Confirm the information source

Choose a public source and decide what attribution and timestamp should accompany each update.

Set a useful update interval

Choose a schedule that meets the monitoring need without producing unnecessary messages.

Choose an approved destination

Select a shared place appropriate for the intended audience and its access permissions.

Test timing and unavailable updates

Check that new, late, and missing information is distinguishable and that outside sharing waits for review.
