    ISS Current Location

    The ISS Current Location tracker above was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA). ESA’s Columbus laboratory is a component of the ISS. Visit the ESA website for more information on the tracker.

    HDEV Live View of Earth from ISS

    If the image is black, you may be using a less than optimal browser such as Safari (try Chrome), or ISS is on the night side of Earth. To check, use the ‘ISS Current Location’ above. Note: ISS orbits Earth in 90 minutes, with 45 minutes of daylight followed by 45 minutes of darkness.

    This high definition video of your world is being telemetered to Earth LIVE from the International Space Station. To determine what portion of Earth is in view, use the ‘ISS Current Location’ toggle above. We invite you to get into the spirit of exploration on the frontiers of space – select an audio file below, expand the HDEV video window to full screen, and look down from 250 miles above Earth’s surface. Suggestions for other audio tracks are welcome:)

    About HDEV, from NASA: The High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment aboard the ISS was activated April 30, 2014. It is mounted on the External Payload Facility of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module. HDEV includes four fixed cameras positioned to capture imagery of the Earth’s surface and its limb as seen from the ISS – one camera pointing in the direction the station is moving, two cameras aft (wake), and one camera pointing straight down at Earth (nadir). While the experiment is operational, views will typically sequence though the different cameras. Between camera switches, a gray and then black color slate will briefly appear. To learn more about the HDEV experiment, visit this NASA webpage.

    Spot the Station: When Will ISS Fly Over Your Town?

    You may not know this, but the International Space Station is the second brightest object in the night sky after the Moon, and has been flying over your head in plain sight (and likely unnoticed) for many years. NASA’s Spot the Station website has been allowing the general public to determine when Station will be flying overhead, and even allows you to sign up for email notification in advance of a Station over-flight of your community.

    In late 2015, the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education suggested to NASA Headquarters that a Spot the Station widget, which could be easily embedded on any website, would be a wonderful way to extend ISS public awareness. The widget below was the result, and you’ll note that it is also found in the right column on all main pages of this SSEP website.

    You are invited to use the widget to explore Station over-flights of your community, and even embed this widget on your website by clicking on the “About” button in the widget.


     

    Space Shuttle Discovery, STS-133, Rolls Out to the Launch Pad, November 21, 2010 CLICK FOR ZOOM

    On this SSEP Community Network Hubsite you can learn about the 242 communities across the U.S., Canada, Brazil and Ukraine that have been engaged in the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP), and the over 1,600 organizational partners at the local level thus far (through Mission 18).

    Note this Hubsite is a separate web environment from the SSEP Main Website which is where you’ll find a detailed overview of the SSEP, how to participate, and all the needed programmatic resources. This Hubsite is where we celebrate the communities—the tens of thousands of students, their teachers, and their families—engaged in this remarkable adventure on the high frontier.

    All Hubsite pages are directly accessible from the navigation banner at the top of this page. Here you can read Community Profiles for each participating community and see the Local Partners that made their participation possible, explore the Experiments Selected for Flight, and see the student-designed Mission Patches that accompanied the experiments into orbit. At this Hubsite you can also explore the In Our Own Words page if you’d like to hear from participating students, teachers, and district administrators, and can read the SSEP in the News page for extensive media coverage of the program. You can also watch oral presentations by student researcher teams at the SSEP National Conference on the Scientific Return and Reporting pages. Finally, follow all SSEP program activities at the SSEP National Blog (you can subscribe to the Blog at the bottom of the right column on the SSEP Main Website.)

    Think of this Hubsite as the Grand Central Station for all the students, teachers, families, and communities engaged in SSEP—a program that was designed to be a keystone initiative for U.S. National STEM education, and to inspire America’s next generation of scientists and engineers.


    The Community Network – Communities Participating in SSEP Since Program Inception in June 2010

    The map provides the location of the 242 communities that have participated in the 20 SSEP flight opportunities to date (through Mission 18 to ISS), and which comprise the SSEP Community Network. To date, 76 communities have now participated in at least 2 – and as many as 11 – flight opportunities, reflecting the sustainable nature of the program.


    A Community that has taken part in one SSEP Flight Opportunity to date: Yellow
    A Community that has taken part in more than one SSEP Flight Opportunity to date: Green
    View the SSEP Communities on a larger map
    *The ‘Teachers in Space’ geographically distributed community (participating in Missions 3 and 5) is not shown on the map.

    Open to See a List of Participating Communities for Each SSEP Flight Opportunity to Date

    The lists below provide links to the Community Profiles for each community, and links to all active SSEP Community Blogs that are created and operated by the communities, where teachers and students report on their local SSEP program activities.

    Communities listed in Green below have participated in more than one SSEP Flight Opportunity.
