Live & Continuous Broadcasting | Amazing views of Earth from space with the International Space Station camera

ArabiaWeather - This live broadcast and sustained Earth from space , NASA cameras HDEV currently aboard the International Space Station, which is located at an altitude of 240 miles (386 km) above the planet in low - Earth orbit. The station takes 90 minutes to complete one orbit around the Earth.

Half of that time the station stops transmitting because it passes through the dark side of the earth, the connection is lost, but it automatically turns back on once the connection returns again. However, the broadcast will convert to archived video when the connection is lost and the space station enters the night zone.

The dashboard on the left contains 4 information:

1. The current location (country or name of the water body).
2. The flight path of the International Space Station.
3. Camera 2 or Camera 1 (depending on time of day)
4. Map showing a close-up view of the station's current location.

Note: The map at the top right, with permission from the European Space Agency (ESA), shows where the International Space Station is now and its course 90 minutes earlier (yellow line) and where it will be in the next 90 minutes (white line). Given the station's orbit, it appears to be moving from west to east over our planet, and due to the Earth's rotation, the space station moves 2,200 km to the west in each orbit. If the time is right, you can see the International Space Station on a clear night with the naked eye, just by looking at the sky.
