NASA will cover the launch of one live Orbital Cygnus Missionof resupplying the ISS space station, taking you to the launch pad with 360-degree video.
For the first time, the organization will broadcast 360 live live rocket video from its YouTube channel NASATelevision today at 18 April and 18 time: 00 in the afternoon.
Η NASA, Orbital ATK and United Launch Alliance (responsible for building the Atlas V rocket that will carry Cygnus to the space station) are placing four ultra-wide-angle (fisheye) cameras on the platform, about 100 meters from the rocket. Nearby, one computer protected in a box, from the explosion, will send pictures in almost real time. As with any 360-degree video, you can view it on your computer and play with your mouse pointer to see a panoramic view. Of course if you see it with a VR Headset you will feel like you are really in the launch zone.
Transmission around 11: 01 am EDT, that is, around 18: 01 Greece time, 10 minutes before the launch of Atlas V starts. The video will be about one minute behind, after the computer has to process the photos.
