NASA Shuttle live feed

I've been very happy with the video feed over the Internet (once I got it going. I'm here at school and they don't allow you to install software on the university computers, of course -- even if I *am* Lab monitor.) I thought the quality was very reasonable and look forward to watching the other material provided by NASA on their sites.

Gotta love these on-demand services!

I'm going to make sure my home computers are all upgraded with the appropriate players so that if I'm at home when the shuttle lands, I can watch that. I'm not a big video watcher, but I will watch for things like the launch.

Yeah, NASATV is great, but I usually loose it once it gets really exciting.
So far, the X-43 Hyper-X flights were the best to watch, with a live feed from an F-18 chase plane

On August 10, they're gonna launch the Mard Reconnaissance Orbitor, which will also be webcasted live

LIVE NOW:
Shuttle docking with ISS

Thanks for the update Zion. I am watching it right now. Wish you could see the actual docking though and not just the navigator and pilots head. Oh well, it's still interesting.

sweet! I just got to see the sun rise from the station.

Nasa TV is down for me, but the yahoo page link is working fine.

They are practicing replacing damaged tiles at the moment.

I believe they were just practicing a new system for repairing shuttle tiles. They were working in the bottom part of the cargo area, not on the outside of the orbitor itself.

The yahoo feed is great, at first it was quite dark, but now everything is clearly visible.

``then for continuing updating, after they've dropped the live video- -

a different page on the Zion Mainframe link

9:11 edt, the ISS+Shuttle is approaching Australia~~~~~

Yeah, that Jtrack is great.
I run predict server + Gsat on my linux machine, its a similar program to track satellites.

Here are also updates, in case the feed is down: www.spaceflightnow.com...

Heay, I ahve been wondering about that too...

I was pretty upset on the morning of the launch when I was already viewing the feed, but got cut off when a bunch of people came along and started watching. So I just ended up watching the local news feed, which didn't have the narrator. Not fair I tells ya.

Next time, try the Yahoo feed, its much more stable for me.

And for me, Zion.

I think you are right. At first I liked the NASA video because it was slightly larger, but unfortunately it is a little unstable. The yahoo video seems to be much more stable and even though it is a little smaller it is worth not having to try to relaunch the viewer when the traffic is high.
