Although radians is the default unit for angles in the international system, ISO 6709 sets degrees for point location by coordinates. Also, major astronomical tools (Simbad, AstroPy) use degree instead of radians.
API process - will expose REST interface to SpaceX. API process will receive request from SpaceX, query Obs Status DB for GBT and VLA observation status data and format and send response to SpaceX. API format to be finalized. Interface security needs to be finalized. API process will be deployed on a VLA web server.
