ESA's Mars Express spacecraft to broadcast first-ever live views of the Red Planet.
TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency (ESA) will livestream imagery from its Mars Express orbiter in near-real time today to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its launch. The livestream will showcase images snapped by the probe's Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC), which was originally designed to monitor the separation of Beagle 2. The VMC was turned off after that, but it was turned back on in 2007 to snap imagery for education and outreach activities, and for science work as well.
