Perhaps there is no interesting experience like watching the Earth from the vast universe. However, to be able to travel in space, or you have to go through a long professional training process or you have to have a lot of money to "buy" yourself a ticket to fly out into space.

Space travel is an extremely complex or extremely expensive experience.

Up to the present time, only about 543 people have the opportunity to travel in the air and see the whole Earth. However, you can still do this with just a computer with a network connection.

However, with Internet connection, nothing is impossible at the present time.

Launched on April 30 this year, the online viewing experience attracted more than 33 million global viewers to allow viewers to track multiple locations on Earth from a distance of 430 km in the air. To accomplish this, many cameras were arranged around the ISS space station then sent images directly to Earth, giving viewers a view of a genuine astronaut.

Each camera is arranged at a different angle and there are many hidden areas that viewers can not see because the space station moves into the hidden area or there are many times when the image is shown dark because the ISS station moves into the dark area. Earth.

Video cameras are designed to withstand impact, extremely low temperatures as well as extremely high temperatures to ensure the most convenient image transmission.

In addition, many times the signal transmission also takes place, causing users to be hindered in the monitoring process. However, the images transmitted from these cameras give viewers an experience that is hard to describe. In the future, there will be more and more camcorders arranged on ISS to help make the angle of shooting more diverse as well as a more perfect experience for viewers.
