  • First livestream from the Red Planet

    First livestream from the Red Planet

    On Friday, to celebrate the 20th birthday of ESA’s Mars Express, you’ll have the chance to get as close as it’s currently possible get to a live view from Mars. Tune in to be amongst the first to see new pictures roughly every 50 seconds as they’re beamed down directly from the Visual Monitoring Camera on board ESA’s long-lived and still highly productive martian orbiter.

    “This is an old camera, originally planned for engineering purposes, at a distance of almost three hundred million kilometres from Earth – this hasn’t been tried before and to be honest, we’re not 100% certain it’ll work,” explains James Godfrey, Spacecraft Operations Manager at ESA’s mission control centre in Darmstadt, Germany.

    “But I’m pretty optimistic. Normally, we see images from Mars and know that they were taken days before. I’m excited to see Mars as it is now – as close to a martian ‘now’ as we can possibly get!’

  • Artemis I Live Feed from Orion Spacecraft (Official NASA Broadcast)

    Artemis I Live Feed from Orion Spacecraft (Official NASA Broadcast)

    On Dec. 11, our Orion spacecraft returns home to Earth. This live stream from Orion will end prior to splashdown, approximately at the time of crew module separation from the service module. Watch live splashdown coverage: https://youtu.be/xzZPzmMtQA8

    This is a live, low-resolution video feed from cameras on NASA’s Orion spacecraft as it accomplishes the Artemis I mission around the Moon and back to Earth. Splashdown is expected on Dec. 11, 2022.

    Viewers will see the Artemis logo, or the last frame of good video data, if there is a loss of signal, or if the bandwidth is needed for mission activities. Viewers may see what appears to be a black screen when the vehicle is in darkness. There is no audio.

    The primary goals for Artemis I are to demonstrate Orion’s systems in a spaceflight environment and ensure a safe re-entry, descent, splashdown, and recovery.
