Seen from Satellite

This is very cool: look at Earth as seen from one of the seemingly hundreds of satellites up there in orbit. I hadn’t realised there were so many and the choice was tricky. I went with one called AsiaSat 4 which scored me a good view of New Zealand.

To view the Earth as currently seen from a satellite in Earth orbit, choose the satellite from the list below and press the “View Earth from Satellite” button. The satellite database is updated regularly but may not reflect the current position of satellites, such as the U.S. Space Shuttle, which maneuver frequently after reaching orbit.
