'pISSStream' shows how full the urine tank on the International Space Station is in real time

by Ars Electronica

The International Space Station (ISS) constantly broadcasts telemetry data showing the status of the ISS's systems so that mission control can monitor them, and NASA has made some of this telemetry data available to the public. ' pISSStream ' is a tool that allows you to check the volume of the urine tank, which is part of the ISS telemetry data, from anywhere on Earth.

The ISS telemetry data being distributed can be viewed on the following page.

Using this telemetry data, pISSStream was developed. Once installed, the volume of the urine tank is displayed in percentage form in the macOS menu bar, as shown below.

In addition, the remaining amount of urine in the urine tank can be checked using the telemetry data in a browser as shown below. With this, you can check the volume of the urine tank on the ISS anytime, anywhere, even on a Windows PC.
