at the University of Kansas says that the feed is an intentional, albeit obsolete, tool that was originally linked to a now-defunct website called ISSlive. “At some point, the original project was abandoned, but the telemetry stream lived on.. The data available is a very small subset of the thousands of telemetry channels used by the ISS, but it’s interesting nonetheless,” he says.
