Earthhopper has posted a shot to Flickr of a simulated view from the Space Shuttle, and this Google Maps mashup displays the Shuttle’s position live, as well as its coordinates.
But I haven’t yet found a dynamic network link for Google Earth that updates with latitude, longitude and height, so that we can see exactly what the astronauts see, live. (If I had more time right now I’d whip one up, but work beckons.)
[Update: 18:51 UTC: Earthhopper provides the answer in this followup post. There is a Windows application that fetches the data and produces KML on demand.]
I might be inclined to make that dynamic network link for Google Earth that updates with latitude, longitude and height, if anyone knows where the coordinates can be picked up. That should be a fun little excersize.
I had a quick look at the html of the Google Maps mashup and it seemed liked the values were fields returned by some kind of query, which in turn I supposed I could mimic. But that’s just a hunch right now.
show me the earth!
