Cool to see this data still live! And on HN
I was the lead on the ISSLive project that released this at NASA back in 2011 - we used an Ajax light streamer server to serve select (approved) space station telemetry parameters and astronaut schedules and we also Built mobile apps and a 3D website with an immersive Mission Control experience in Unity
Sadly the sites lost funding - but glad to see the IssMimic project and data still available- as a former ISS flight controller I have fond memories of my time there

I'm SO going to build a Grafana dashboard from that!
One of those values is "ISS total mass." Is that calculated using launch/deorbit weights or is there some kind of sensor on board that can measure that? I figure if you did a specific type of burn you could calculate the weight from that, but I'm wondering if they have something more clever.
What's the reason behind using the "Off"/"Not-Off" notation for "on-off status" instead of "On"/"Off" or even "On"/"Non-On"? I see some "state" parameters marked as "ON".
Which NASA API/data feed is being used to get this telemetry?
Incredible! I wonder how much delay there is between the sensor data coming in to ISS, being relayed to NASA, fetched by these guys and forwarded to their model's actuators.
Can anyone explain what the number before the timestamp is? GMT 66 / 43 / 41
It has a year field, when would that one be updated? Using UTC?
So where is the ‘leaky’ Soyuz module? Haha
This is being used to sync a 1:100 model of ISS with the actual station: https://github.com/ISS-Mimic/Mimic
