"It launched on Wednesday morning, tucked away on ITVX, and consists only of live footage of Earth broadcast from the International Space Station. It's beguiling to watch, especially for anyone who didn't realise that a person can be awestruck and bored simultaneously. It's billed as a world first. ITV has partnered with British space media company Sen to use live 4K footage from its proprietary SpaceTV-1 video camera system, mounted on the International Space Station, giving us three camera views:"
"Nasa's YouTube channel has been streaming live footage from the ISS for years, and uniformly draws an audience of a few thousand. But Space Live is, if nothing else, slightly snazzier. The footage is certainly nicer: at 8.30am on Wednesday, Space Live showed gorgeous images of the sun's glare bouncing off the sea around the Bay of Biscay, while all Nasa could offer was a piece of cloth with the word Flap written on it."
Space Live is a continuous channel on ITVX that streams live 4K footage of Earth from cameras mounted on the International Space Station. The feed provides three views: docking ports, a horizon view that shows sunrises and storms, and a downward-facing camera as the ISS passes over the planet. A corner tracker displays the station's live location while a real-time AI overlay supplies facts about geography and weather systems. The channel uses Sen's SpaceTV-1 camera system and offers higher-quality imagery than existing ISS streams, includes a looping soothing soundtrack, and can produce simultaneous feelings of awe and boredom.
