Earth Views HDEV – International Space Station (ISS) NASA

La cámara está instalada en el International Space Station (ISS).

High Definition Earth-Viewing System (HDEV)

The International Space Station is a modular space station in low Earth orbit. It is a multinational collaborative project between five participating space agencies: NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA. The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements.

The International Space Station orbits 248 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth, and can be seen from the ground using a new interactive map called Spot the Station. The International Space Station completes multiple orbits around Earth every day.

Currently, live views from the International Space Station (ISS) are streaming from an external camera mounted on the ISS module called Node 2.
Node 2 is located on the forward part of the ISS.

The camera is looking forward to an angle so that the International Docking Adapter 2 (IDA2) is visible. 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.

THIS WILL SHOW LIVE and PRE-RECORDED FOOTAGE – depending on the signal from the space station or if the ISS is on the night side of Earth.

The High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment is mounted on the ISS External Payload Facility of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module
