This live stream combines external views of Earth with interior views from inside the International Space Station (ISS). When crew members are active, the feed may switch to show daily life inside the station’s pressurised modules, offering a rare look at work and movement in microgravity.

At other times, the camera displays real-time external footage of Earth, including cloud systems, oceans, continents, and the thin atmospheric layer surrounding the planet. The ISS orbits at an altitude of approximately 400 kilometres, travelling at speeds of around 28,000 kilometres per hour and completing an orbit roughly every 90-minutes.

During communication handovers or signal loss, a placeholder screen may appear until the live feed resumes. From this live view, you can browse more space & astronomy cameras, explore scenic view cameras showing Earth from orbit, or use our live webcams interactive world map to track areas currently visible from space.
