=== Live video from the Int. Space Station
Note that these Youtube video streams from the ISS are periodically replaced by new videos. If the display below shows black and says something about private video, go to the NASA’s Youtube listing of live streams to see the current feed from the ISS. ** Live High-Definition Views from the International Space Station (Official NASA Stream) | NASA
Live views from the International Space Station are streaming from an external camera mounted on the station’s Harmony module.
The camera is looking forward at an angle so that International Docking Adapter 2 is visible. If the Harmony module camera is not available due to operational considerations for a longer period of time, a continuous loop of recorded Earth views will be displayed with the caption “Previously Recorded.”
The space station orbits Earth about 250 miles (425 kilometers) above the surface. An international partnership of five space agencies from 15 countries operates the station, and it has been continuously occupied since November 2000. It’s a microgravity laboratory where science, research, and human innovation make way for new technologies and research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. More: https://go.nasa.gov/3CkVtC8
Did you know you can spot the station without a telescope? It looks like a fast-moving star, but you have to know when to look up. Download our mobile app for alerts to let you know when (and where) to spot the station and wave to the crew: https://www.nasa.gov/spot-the-station/

Watch live video from the International Space Station, including inside views when the crew aboard the space station is on duty. Views of Earth are also streamed from an external camera located outside of the space station. During periods of signal loss due to handover between communications satellites, a blue screen is displayed. ...
