Live ISS Stream

[Speijker]

Just found out you can watch Live Streams from the International Space Station.

How far mankind has come, since the first rockets launched into space to a live feeds from a station circling our planet.

Now I just want to build my KSP space-station again (but bigger).

Anyway: a link (click here). And another one, because the plugin on nasa's website keeps crashing on me: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-iss-stream

And the description from the website:

Live Space Station Video includes internal views from cameras in the International Space Station's Destiny Laboratory and Harmony module when the resident astronauts are on duty. Earth views from external cameras on the station's structure will be available during crew off-duty periods.

The video will be accompanied by live audio of conversations between the crew and the Mission Control network.

Television from the station is available only when the complex is in contact with the ground through its high-speed communications antenna and NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System. When the space station is out of range of NASA’s communications channels, you will see a “Loss of Signal†screen.

Since the station orbits the Earth once every 90 minutes, it sees a sunrise or a sunset every 45 minutes. When the station is in darkness, external camera video may appear black, but also may provide spectacular views of city lights below.

Great! I now know what to watch 24/7!
