Low Earth Orbit · UTC
This camera streams a live view of Earth from the International Space Station as it orbits at approximately 250 miles above the surface, traveling at 17,500 miles per hour. The feed shows the curvature of the planet against the blackness of space, with continents, oceans, cloud formations, and weather systems drifting slowly across the frame.
The ISS completes one full orbit every 90 minutes, meaning you can witness a sunrise or sunset approximately every 45 minutes. The thin blue line of the atmosphere is visible at the horizon, and on night passes, the lights of cities create glowing constellations that trace coastlines and river valleys.
Occasionally the camera captures spectacular natural phenomena including auroras dancing at the poles, lightning storms flickering across cloud tops, and the long shadows of sunset stretching across mountain ranges. The screen may go dark during signal handoffs between ground stations.
The International Space Station orbits Earth at an altitude of 408 kilometers and has been continuously occupied since November 2, 2000. It travels at 28,000 km/h, completing about 16 orbits per day. The ISS is the most expensive single object ever built, costing over 150 billion dollars. It measures 109 meters end to end, roughly the size of a football field. Over 270 individuals from 21 countries have visited the station.
The feed is continuous but periodically goes dark during signal transitions. Daytime orbital passes over populated continents offer the most recognizable views. Night passes from roughly 8 PM to 4 AM UTC show stunning city lights. Aurora activity is best viewed when the ISS passes over polar regions during periods of high solar activity.
Yes, the ISS Earth View live camera streams 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from Low Earth Orbit. The feed may occasionally go offline for maintenance, but it is designed to provide continuous real-time footage.
