At Harder's suggestion I'm starting a thread to collect links to places that promise live streams during the MSL landing. NASA TV is of course the #1 place to go, and I assume that NASA TV will be mirrored on the NASAJPL Ustream channel. The Society will be offering a stream from Planetfest. SpaceflightNow usually does live updates but experience has shown that they don't handle heavy traffic well. Failing anything else, you can bet your bottom dollar I will be Tweeting up a storm.
Anybody have other live stream / live update suggestions? Post them here. Please keep chitchat to a minimum to make it easy to find links among the text. -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

I have Eyes running now and just switched to the landing site view and rotated the scene around to the east to watch the sunrise at Gale. Now just seeing the glow on the horizon. I did this yesterday but thought I would do it again for landing day. Really nice simulation. Thanks Doug and all involved for getting this up.

I'm posting this over hear since it seems a better place for it than the EDL thread.
Any chance that there's a plan to post the post-landing news conferences online somewhere, perhaps Youtube? Indeed the press conferences to get posted by NASA to their Youtube channel, however it takes a while. In my experience, here is the update speed of the various sources: NASA Youtube: packaged events appear several hours later, sometimes as much as a full day later NASA / JPL Ustream: is continuously recording NASA TV, and offers it up in 2 hour chunks, so the longest you will have to wait for a reply is 2 hours. http://www.space-multimedia.nl.eu.org/ : run by a guy in the Netherlands, and is typically updated within minutes after an event BUT only during European waking hours. In this case, landing occurs at 7:30am European time, so he should have any pressers available immediately. EDIT: linked up the sites EDIT about editing: mods, the little icons in edit mode need to have popup text (aka tooltips) to say what they do. They are tiny and non-obvious. |

NASA Youtube: packaged events appear several hours later, sometimes as much as a full day later Thanks, I was somehow oblivious to Nasa having its own Youtube channel. Those other sources are even more helpful. The question derived from my doing a search following yesterday's conference and not finding anything other than Nasa TV as a means of watching it. For what seemed like weeks or months after there MER's landed, a regular highlight in my life was to sit down and watch the recorded teleconferences after getting home from work -- I'm feeling a bit out of touch lately. |
