Off Topic: Satellite Views

#1 Postby riverratmike » Tue Sep 28, 2004 8:23 pm

Just wondering if anyone on this board know of any realtime satellite viewing website. Is what I'm looking for is a way to view my home live from a satellite. Just wondering if that was possible these days?

I've got all the GOES feeds, and tons of other stuff. Even the REALLY cool NASA J-Track 3D... here's how:


go to http://wx.db.erau.edu
click 'faculty pages'
bagby's stuff is cool (had a t-storms class with him last semester), but the good stuff is under Brad Muller's page - click it.
scroll down to click 'essential wx links'

the stuff you want is in the satellite section. check out j-track and play with it... gives you the current location, identification and information of a whole load of satellites. NASA GOES is great too.

------------------------------------------
but as for viewing your house... space imaging is the only one i know of, and it'll cost ya.
