Also note that the ISS has an orbital period of just 93 minutes - for a considerable part of that time the station is in the Earth’s shadow and can’t see much. You can simply watch the online broadcast from the webcams of the ISS (International Space Station) in real time, without traveling info space and even without leaving your home.
If the feed is permanently gray then HDEV is switched off - or communications have been lost. If you watch the stream you will notice that it hops between the four cameras in sequence, with gray and black color slates in between each switch. Live Feeds from the International Space Station AND near-live timelapse videos of Earth from geosynchronous orbit. The box was connected up to the underside of the ISS via EVA/spacewalk, with one camera pointing forward (Hitachi), two cameras facing aft (Sony/Panasonic), and one pointing nadir (Toshiba, down towards Earth). HDEV, which consists of just a single enclosure, was delivered to the ISS a couple of weeks ago by SpaceX CRS-3. The purpose of HDEV, beyond providing us with a live stream of our own frickin’ planet, is to see if commercial cameras are viable for future space missions, potentially saving a lot of money (space cameras have historically been expensive, custom-designed things).
HDEV is notable because it consists of four, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) high-definition video cameras that are each enclosed in a pressurized box, but otherwise they exposed to the rigors of space (most notably cosmic radiation). The ISS live camera gives a view similar to that of a night vision camera and you get to see the satellites in a better manner. The unusual white, cylinder-shaped device was seen on the same day as. Dragon is scheduled to dock to the space station at 4:57 p.m. A UFO was spotted near the International Space Station during a live feed, sparking a new wave of alien conspiracy theories. This rather awesome real-time video stream (which also includes the ISS-to-mission control audio feed) comes by way of the High Definition Earth Viewing experiment. LiveISSStream : Live video from the International Space Station includes internal views when the crew is on-duty and Earth views at other. The crew will dock Endurance to the forward port on the Harmony module of the International Space Station about 29 hours after liftoff.
