Today my collaborator and I are releasing issinrealtime.org, a multimedia project that plays back every day onboard the ISS. Feedback welcomed.

Here's an article that was just released about it: https://www.collectspace.com/news/news-102725a-iss-in-real-t...

I also wrote a "making of" post about it here: https://benfeist.com/posts/iss-in-real-time/

I'd love to have a real 24-hour feed of the Earth from the ISS on my wall. But in reality, the ISS loses ground connection constantly.

Not really constantly. For 20 seconds every 30 minutes or so when it changes what satellite it’s pointed at, plus longer outages throughout the day depending on satellite usage by other systems. This may be just a minute or so every hour on a high-coverage day, or it may include 15-minute outages occasionally at low-coverage times (typically when the crew are asleep)

That's not been my experience. Have you tried watching it for a full day?
