For schools and planetariums
Schools, museums and planetariums will get the full 8K feed free, with no ads and no logo on the picture. We're also preparing a version made for planetarium domes.
Vertigo · Launching by the end of 2028
Go ahead. Look around.
We're putting a 360° camera into orbit. It's called Vertigo, and it's built for VR. Put on a headset and you can look around in any direction, live, as if you were up there yourself. You can also watch on your phone or computer.
What you'll see
Vertigo will circle the Earth from pole to pole roughly every hour and a half. Look down and you'll watch oceans, deserts and storm systems slide by underneath. Look up and it's black sky and stars.
The picture is live, so whatever you're looking at is happening right then. Vertigo is built to stay up for three to five years.

Watching it
Watching is free. You'll see a short ad when you start and another one about every five minutes. Free viewers get the feed in 4K with our logo in the corner.
Premium members watch in 8K with no ads and no logo. You can pick places you care about, like your hometown or the Grand Canyon, and we'll let you know when Vertigo is about to pass over. Yearly members can record those passes and keep the clips.
