Watch live video of Earth from the NASA ISS live stream aboard the International Space Station!
The International Space Station (ISS) is a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit and the largest structure humans have ever put into space. Five different space agencies representing 15 countries (NASA, Russia's Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities (Roscosmos), the European Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) started to build the International Space Station in November 1998 and continue to operate it today. The station is a permanently occupied outpost of humanity in outer space that serves as the first step for further space exploration.
The ISS can rival Venus in brightness and looks like a bright star moving across the night sky that can be seen with naked eyes from Earth. Modern technologies also give all people on Earth a wonderful opportunity to watch our wonderful planet from space using the ISS Live Stream permanently broadcasting a real astronaut view of Earth directly to our monitors.
International Space Station (ISS) Live Stream
The International Space Station (ISS) flies 248 miles (400 kilometers) high above Earth in low orbit. At 28 800 km/h speed it takes 90 minutes for the Station to make a complete circle round the Earth. Therefore astronauts who live on the ISS can enjoy 16 sunrises and sunsets each day.
The International Space Station (ISS) live stream below is a real time HD footage captured by NASA's HDEV cameras on board the International Space Station. The ISS passes into the dark side of the earth for half its 90 minute orbit. During this time you can see recorded footage.
The ISS Tracker - Where is the International Space Station Now?
The ISS can be seen from Earth without the use of a telescope by night sky observers. Due to Earth's rotation the Station seems to travel from west to east over our planet. Use the ISS tracker below to find out the exact position of the Station. You can observe the ISS with your own naked eyes by looking up at the correct time, naturally, if the night sky in your locasion is clear.
