Tue, 17 Jun 2025 06:04:47 +0000

Enjoy the live view of the overview camera on the International Space Station. Our sister livestream from space can be found here: https://youtube.com/live/xRPjKQtRXR8

--------------------
This livestream is part of something bigger. AfarTV has an idea that can help us take better care of our planet. Read about it here: https://afar.tv/vision.php
--------------------

The lower right window shows the main camera pointing down directly at the earth. You can view this camera directly from our other stream here: https://youtube.com/live/xRPjKQtRXR8
The picture will switch to archived video when the connection is lost (aka OFFLINE).

There are 16 sunrises and sunsets every day. Check them out!

The dashboard on the bottom contains the following information:

1. BOTTOM, FAR LEFT BOX --------------------

Global flight path of the ISS with real-time lightning strikes. The flight path of the ISS shows where the ISS is right now, its path 90 minutes ago (yellow line), and 90 minutes ahead (white line). Due to the Station's orbit, it appears to travel from west to east over our planet, and due to Earth's own rotation, the Space Station moves 2200 km to the west on each orbit. If you time it right, you can see the International Space Station on a clear night with your own eyes, just by looking up. Any lightning that strikes the ground will appear on this map in real-time. This is useful for seeing if the ISS will be passing over any lightning storms while on the night side of earth.

2. BOTTOM, LEFT OF CENTER BOX ------------------

A zoomed-in map showing the current location of the ISS and current cloud conditions.

3. BOTTOM, CENTER BOX -----------------

The space station's current position over the earth (state/province and country) or the name of the body of water, the current time and date, the elevation and speed of the station, and the condition of the video transmission: Live Now (red box) or Offline (blue box). if the live transmission is offline, archived video or a simulation of where the space station is will appear in the main window. Additional data related to the country below will be displayed in this area - including, capital city, population statistics, age demographics, energy sources etc. Data source: https://ourworldindata.org/

4. BOTTOM, RIGHT BOX -------------------

If the live stream is running, this box will show the primary camera aboard the ISS. If the live feed is offline, this box will instead show a recent photos taken of earth as a whole.

------------------
Note: Due to the delay in getting the camera feeds, the camera feeds and the maps might be out of sync by up to 15 seconds.

This is an ISS live space view from the NASA External HD live cameras currently mounted on the outside of the ISS. Thank you NASA.gov and Ustream for providing this stream!
