Description

See the Earth as the astronauts see it with a 24/7 video livestream from the International Space Station.

If you like space or astronomy then you will love ISS Live Now.

ISS Live Now gives you easy access to a live video feed of Earth from the International Space Station, which is orbiting about 400 kilometers (250 miles) above the planet. The app provides an exciting experience marked by a thoughtful design.

With ISS Live Now, you can view interesting live video streams directly from the International Space Station’s cameras.

The app utilizes the native Google Map (ISS tracker), which allows you to follow the Space Station’s orbit around our planet. You can zoom, rotate, drag and tilt the map;.

You will have these different sources of live video streaming, including:
1. Live HD Camera: Provides a high-resolution live view of Earth captured by EHDC cameras aboard the ISS.
2. Live standard camera: It shows a live stream of the Earth and, from time to time, details about the ISS (like tests, maintenance and communication with Earth).
3. NASA TV: The television service of the United States government agency NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). You can watch science and space documentaries, interview with scientists, astronauts, engineers and personalities such as Elon Musk.
4. NASA TV Media.
5. Spacewalk (recorded): Beautiful HD images of astronauts from cameras outside the ISS.
6. Inside the International Space Station: Take a video tour of each module inside the ISS, all explained by the astronauts.
7. Eventual channel: Temporary live cameras from NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) and the SpaceX.
8. Launchpad Cameras: Enjoy 24/7 live streaming from launchpads located in various destinations.
9. ESA: Experience exclusive content with live feeds from the European Space Agency (ESA), offering a unique perspective on space exploration and scientific endeavors.

You even have the option to be notified when the next sunset or sunrise will occur, allowing you to watch it live directly from the International Space Station.

Note:
When the ISS (International Space Station) is on the night side of Earth, the video image is black, which is normal.

Sometimes, video is not available due to transmission issues, or because the crew is changing cameras. In such cases, you will usually have a blue or blank screen. In a few minutes the transmission should return, so, please be patient. This is not a problem with the app.

Top notch App

I use this app all the time and the upgrade looks great. Reminds me of the old days when app creators paid attention to things that were important and didn’t charge you an arm and leg. To me this app is much more intuitive than the same feed on Nasa’s app, starting with having the video feed and location of the ISS on the same page. The only thing I didn’t like about this app was the forced recentering of the ISS Icon on the page when moving away from it to see its future path. I think that’s been addressed as an option now so that’s great.

As far as the feed itself, thats on NASA, not this app as far I know. But because 70% of the feed is of the ocean and another 10% is of land covered in clouds, it is really frustrating to have another 10–15% a lost signal page. The oceans and clouds are part of the viewing experience that can’t be controlled watching live, but you would think a lost signal as consistent as the one on this feed wouldn’t be an issue of significance. Suffice to say it takes a lot of patience but to some of us I guess it’s worth it.

Always awesome NASA….

Wow that one review by the “person” who was laughing and insulting NASA without understanding at all what it takes to do what the USA has done longer and better than anyone else in the history of the human species and space exploration. The Russians, Chinese and anyone else have never been as advanced and done more, contributatively, physically and logically to advancing the human race. If that reviewer is an American he’s an idiot. If he’s from another country he is such an idiot, he doesn’t know the word idiot even means. And once again the USA is going to save the planet and the human race. If earth becomes uninhabitable eventually, we will probably shuttle everyone to Mars. It’s just ridiculous to criticize when you don’t even know what you are talking about. NASA rocks and always will. We set the standard and always will. Unless Trump is elected, then we crash and burn completely and become a closed off authoritarian state. Long live democracy, NASA and the USA!

Fantastic app but something I have to tell (devs please read)

So first off the camera quality is a little blurry it’s not the worse next is that I can’t watch spacewalk (recorded) and I understand that it’s space and cameras are blurry (idk if that’s true or not XD) so that’s probably why the camera quality is bad but apart from that its a good app! It is better then the fake videos that show live coverage that’s just photoshopped or whatever I trust you I don’t think these live cameras are photoshopped images (if they are photoshopped images you let me down) so if you have time to read this thank you for reading it. But question are you the ACTUAL NASA company? If you are that’s cool and sorry if this was a little long but I hope you read this! See ya
