ISS Webcam Goes Live!

[n122vu]

NASA has transformed the external camera on the International Space Station into a live webcam

**EDIT**
From Yahoo! News:

The streaming video views of Earth and the exterior structure of the station are from cameras mounted outside the laboratory complex, orbiting Earth at 17,500 miles an hour at an altitude of 220 miles. The video is transmitted to the ground -- and Web viewers -- primarily while the astronauts aboard the complex are asleep, usually from about 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. CDT. When live feeds are not available, a map showing the current location and path of the station will be streamed from NASA's Mission Control in Houston.

The streaming video will include audio of communications between Mission Control and the astronauts, when available. When the space shuttle is docked to the station, the stream will include video and audio of those activities.

How about a view OF the ISS?

I've always thought this would be a very cool idea: Have a micro-satellite orbit the ISS at a safe distance and shoot HD video continuously. I love those photos that the orbiter crews take after they undock from the station (can't wait to see the ones from the next mission btw, with the 4th set of wings!).

Maybe someone can come up with a business model...float advertising near the station to catch on video...
