Send the current ISS position as a JSON message to an Amazon SQS queue every minute.

## Setup and use

In Open Flow, set a standard SQS queue URL in **Sign the SQS request**, and bind AWS access key ID and secret access key to secret Variables. For temporary credentials, bind the same session token Variable to both **Sign the SQS request** and **Send to the queue** → **X-Amz-Security-Token**. Leave both unset for long-lived credentials. The identity needs sqs:SendMessage permission for that queue. In n8n, connect AWS credentials and select the standard queue. Activate one format.

## Behavior

Every minute retrieve the ISS position and send a JSON message with Name, Latitude, Longitude and Timestamp. Open Flow runs on the minute boundary; n8n Cron V1 uses a fixed second within the minute. A failed or uncertain send stops without automatic replay; check the queue before retrying. FIFO queues require a message group and are not covered.

## Changes to the source

*   Correct the API timestamp from milliseconds to seconds and configure the queue. Open Flow signs an SQS HTTPS request; n8n retains its native AWS SQS node.
