Cameras on the ISS provide early 2013 live version of Google Earth

The International Space Station (ISS) will soon be offering photographs of the earth using two HD cameras on the outside of the ISS will be made. Since the ISS fifteen times a day around the earth orbits, there will be several daily snapshots of your house to see. In fact, you can call when you hang up the ISS and so just go to wave.
The company RAL Space, near the British town of Oxford, one of the camera's built. "A meter will be approximately equal to one pixel, similar to the images of your house on Google Earth," says Ian Tosh from RAL Space. "You will be the tiles of your roof can not count, but the details of your garden will recognize." What makes this project different from Google Earth is that they are updated several times a day.

The basic service of the project will be free.
Users can then log onto the website and live or archived images of anywhere on earth. The ISS floats daily 15 times around the earth, so sooner or later there will be something you want to see...
