The High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment mounted on the ISS External Payload Facility of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module was activated Apand after 5 years and 79 days was viewed by more than 318 million viewers across the globe on USTREAM alone. The International Space Station with ESA’s Columbus laboratory flies 400 km high at speeds that defy gravity literally.
Thank You to all who shared in experiencing and using the HDEV views of Earth from the ISS to make HDEV so much more than a Technology Demonstration Payload! After HDEV stopped sending any data on July 18, 2019, it was declared, on August 22, 2019, to have reached its end of life. Astronauts circling the Earth have the wonderful vantage point of observing the nighttime Earth from 350-400 kilometers above the surface, taking in whole regions at once. The loop will have “Previously Recorded” on the image to distinguish it from the live stream from the Node 2 camera. If the Node 2 camera is not available due to operational considerations for a longer period of time, a continuous loop of recorded HDEV imagery will be displayed. 25) as the satellite passed south of Cuba, about 700 miles (1,100 kilometers) away from NASAs Kennedy Space Center. The camera is looking forward at an angle so that the International Docking Adapter 2 (IDA2) is visible. Node 2 is located on the forward part of the ISS.

Our team of meteorologists dives deep into the science of weather and breaks down timely weather data and information.
This orbital period and inclination cause the ISS to change its. When you see it, know that you are witnessing something important to both life on Earth and the future of space exploration. The ISS orbits planet Earth once every 93 minutes at a 51.6 inclination to Earths equator. This data provides information on things like the effects of long-term human spaceflight, part of NASA's mission for humans to travel farther into space. Within this structure are crew members conducting science and technology experiments.
What we see on the ground is actually a laboratory the size of a football field, traveling about 250 miles above the earth's surface. The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of roughly 17,150 miles per hour (thats about 5 miles per second). Rice shared "when the ISS is directly over Central Florida, astronauts can see Niagara Falls on their northern horizon," in addition to seeing Honduras to the south, San Antonio, Texas to the west, and just about to Bermuda to the northeast. 2 days ago &0183 &32 How to watch the next International Space Station flyovers. As you might imagine, crew members get out-of-this-world views.
