Pass Times Not Returning Early AM passes #10

Closed MDStebel closed 7 years ago

MDStebel commented 8 years ago

Passes between ~ 11pm and 6am are not being returned out to 50 or more passes.

After some digging we decided that that was just true in this one case.

The ISS orbit slowly precesses. Any given pass is going to happen again at about the same time each day, plus or minus an hour. Over the course of weeks or a month, it will slide as the orbit changes to another time of day.

While the user was testing the ISS just happened to be overhead mostly at one time of day.

Hi Nathan,

The API service for passes seems to be down, Using a request like this test example below always works, except now returns a can't connect to server error. So, please let me know and thanks!

There was an outage early this morning, but it should be resolved now.
