Important Things to Know:

1. Live vs. Recorded: When the ISS is in contact with the ground (via tracking satellites), you see live HD video. During loss of signal (approximately 45% of each 90-minute orbit), you'll see a blue or black screen, a test pattern, or pre-recorded footage.

2. Audio: Typically, there is no audio on the main external Earth-viewing feed. Audio is usually only broadcast during scheduled mission events on NASA TV.

3. Camera Views: The feed primarily shows the view from cameras mounted outside the ISS. Occasionally, the stream might switch to internal views or mission control audio during events.

4. "HDEV" Experiment: The most famous Earth-viewing system was the High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment. While HDEV concluded operations in 2019, the current operational cameras provide similar stunning views.

Troubleshooting & Tips:

• Black/Blue Screen? This is normal during loss of signal. Be patient; the live view will return shortly.

• Static/Test Pattern? Also indicates a signal loss or camera switchover.

• Mobile Friendly: Most official links (NASA, YouTube) work well on smartphones and tablets.

• Track the ISS: Use NASA's "Spot the Station" tool (https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/) to see when it's flying over your location! If it's overhead, the view you see is roughly what the ISS is seeing live.
