NASA's High Definition Earth Viewing experiment was installed on the ISS to test how consumer-grade cameras perform in the harsh environment of space. Earth's surface is 71 percent water, and this becomes strikingly apparent from orbit. The ISS's orbit is inclined at 51.6 degrees, meaning it never passes directly over the poles but covers most of the inhabited world. The thin atmosphere visible at the horizon is only about 60 miles thick, less than one percent of the planet's diameter.
The camera operates 24/7 but the most dramatic views occur during orbital sunrise and sunset, which happen every 45 minutes. Tune in when the ISS is passing over well-known geographic features such as the Himalayas, the Great Barrier Reef, or the Amazon Basin using ISS tracking tools. Hurricane season from June through November often reveals massive storm systems.
Yes, the NASA Earth HD live camera streams 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from ISS External Cam. The feed may occasionally go offline for maintenance, but it is designed to provide continuous real-time footage.
