Our current API only supports one satellite which is the ISS, however we could potentially explore different API services that could bring satellites and even more data.

With a better API, we could also explore adding day/night cycles, add paths of objects and where they will go, display multiple objects at once etc.

Currently working with a new API using Node.js, I built it in the dev-environment branch.
