### Requirements & Constraints
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The Developer should implement a means of efficient way of loading a list of upcoming space station sighting opportunities for a user given location.
|
|
|
|
|
Several times a week, Mission Control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX, determines sighting opportunities for over 6,700 locations worldwide.
|
|
|
|
|
If the user location is not listed, the user can be able to pick one that is fairly close to you. The space station is visible for a long distance around each of the listed locations.
|
|
|
|
|
- The Developer will need to study the NASA's Mission control center's procdures
