### Description (declared)

# ISS Telemetry MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to International Space Station (ISS) telemetry data. This server is built using the FastMCP SDK and offers real-time data on environmental conditions, orbital parameters, solar array positions, and waste/water management systems.

## 🚀 Features

- **Environmental Data**: Cabin pressure, temperature, humidity, CO2 and oxygen levels
- **Orbital Parameters**: Altitude, velocity, position, and orbital period
- **Solar Array Position**: Gimbal angles and power output data
- **Waste & Water Management**: Tank levels and system status
- **Communication Status**: Signal acquisition and ground station contact
- **Data Persistence**: Save telemetry data to files for analysis

## 📋 Available Tools

1. `get_iss_environmental_data()` - Current environmental conditions inside the ISS
2. `get_iss_orbital_data()` - Current orbital parameters and position
3. `get_iss_solar_array_position()` - Solar array angles and power output
4. `get_iss_waste_water_management()` - Waste and water system status
5. `get_iss_signal_status()` - Communication signal status with ground
6. `get_all_iss_telemetry()` - Comprehensive data from all systems
7. `save_telemetry_to_file(data_type, filename)` - Save data to JSON files
